Title St. Joseph's Historic Church
Date ca. 1924
Description Shows a Catholic church and attached school, featuring large panels of stained-glass windows.
Notes Known to few others than the devout old St. Joseph's Catholic Church is accessible only by way of Jesuits coming from Maryland. The present building dates from 1838. It is recorded that the dominant Quakers of the period were tolerant of these strangers, who, in time, also built St. Mary's Church upon Fourth Street. They also contributed to the building of St. Augustine's Church. A tablet set in the wall of St. Joseph's preserves the memory of Rev. Joseph Greaton. A school is connected with this institution.
