Place & story

Gables, niches and limestone

Bailey House was built about 1880 as a presbytery. Its H-shaped plan produces projecting gables at the front and rear, while limestone walls, chimneys, finials and window surrounds give it an elaborate exterior. Trefoil-headed niches contain statues. The architectural inventory records later conversion to a nursing home and identifies the house as part of a group with the church and former school on Bailey Street. The change of use is part of the survey’s record, rather than a statement about present services. [2]
