Building at the junction of Chatham Road and Austin Avenue [c.1905-c.1962]

Submitted by Klaus on Thu, 2021-11-04 21:34
Date Place completed: 
c.1905-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)
Date Place demolished: 
c.1962-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

Two-storey brick building at the junction of Chatham Road and Austin Avenue.

Probably at the same time as the church, a building was erected at the junction of Chatham Road and Austin Avenue, originally it was on KIL 617. This lot was split and the lot of the church and the rectory was renamed KIL 4030 in the 1930s. The original use of this building is unclear, but had probably a connection to Rosary Church.

From November 1921 to New Year’s Day 1923, it was used as the Maryknoll Sisters Convent.
