History
The rectory, or parsonage, is the oldest remaining building on the St. Boniface campus. Originally, the preist stayed in a home on Wabash Avenue across from the church. The current rectory, a Queen Anne, red brick with white stone trimmings, was built in 1892. It is a substantial building complementing the larger homes across Wabash Avenue. The wrap around front porch was an early 1900s addition.
