This was St. Mary's Catholic Church on Lawn
Dick Boehr took this black and white snapshot of the former St. Mary's Catholic Church before it was razed.
The church faced Lawn Avenue. The location of the church is now part of St. Mary's parking lot. This view is of the church's southside. The bell is now in front of the new church building.
The congregation celebrates its 150th anniversary on Aug. 16. This photo was taken in the lat 1960s.
