- Scope and Content
- Exterior west side view of Holy Angels Catholic Church, St. Thomas, ca. September 1930. Photo by Frank H. Leslie. Retained for reference by the St. Thomas Times-Journal. Also shows the church rectory or priests' residence (the building immediately to the west of the church) and a rear view of St. Joseph's convent (nuns' residence), immediately to the south of the church (10 White Street). St. Joseph's School, located on the southwest corner of Talbot and White Streets, is hidden from view by the church. The building with the sloping roof at the rear of the church served as a classroom for commercial students at St. Joseph's School. Photograph was taken from the tower of the St. Thomas Fire Hall on the west side of Southwick Street. View is looking east and includes, in the foreground, Bertrand C. Turville's lumber yard (480 Talbot Street), including the small building at left which served as the lumber yard office, with an entrance off Talbot St. and also from Southwick St. along the tracks, later George McNabb's office; Stanley Park - a small area, approximately 50 feet x 25 feet, with well manicured lawn and shrubbery, located between the rectory and Turville's lumber yard, where children were forbidden to trespass; and, in the background, the Sutherland Press building, St. Thomas Brewery "skeleton", Michigan Central Railway station, yards and shops building (constructed 1913). Note the impromptu game of baseball ongoing in the vacant lot south of the church.
