The Mount Carmel School and Church is a one story T-shaped stone building with a hip roof and crowning bell tower. The stemwing of the T is the original c.1890 building and was constructed of random ashlar. In 1919 the original section burned. When rebuilt in 1923-24 a crosswing of random rubble was added at the rear, a hip roof was built over both sections, and the sills and lintels of the original section were replaced with concrete ones. The stone of the crosswing addition matches that of the original walls which had survived the fire, and the crosswing windows are the same proportion as the original openings. The arrangement of openings into the building is symmetrical. A door is set into each of the three ends of the building, and six over six double hung sash windows pierce the side walls of each wing. The Mount Carmel School and Church is in good condition and maintains the integrity it had achieved by 1924. The original c.1890 section of the building, though altered, still exhibits its original rectangular form, window and door openings, and exterior stone walls. I I See continuation sheet |
