How tall is St. Joseph's Church in Fall River?
St. Joseph's Church (Fall River, Massachusetts)
For a long time it had been realized that the small and antiquated house that was being used as a rectory was wholly unfit for the purpose, and Reverend Father Boylan had plans prepared for a more commodious parish home.  In the summer of 1889 the old residence was sold and moved off the premises, which soon housed a new building erected at the cost of between $8000 and $9000 including the furnishings.  It is still doing service as Saint Joseph's rectory and has within the past few months been repainted without and partially refurnished within, so that it presents a cozy and attractive appearance.  The domestic affairs of the household are presided over by the two sisters of the pastor, the Misses Ellen E. and Kathryn A. Boylan, who have served most acceptably and helpfully virtually from the day of his coming into the parish.
