Build Fine Structure
WORK TO BEGIN SOON
Modern Residence for Priest to be
Erected This Season by Members
of the Congregation

The Congregation of St. Paul'S Cat
holic church will build a new parson-
age this season. Work will begin as
soon as possible in the Spring.
The structure will be located at the
corner of Third and Birch streets,will
be of red brick with granite founda-
lions and trimmings, and modern in
every respect. 1t will be heated with
an up-to-date hot water plant, will
have city water and sewerage, electric
lights and all the conveniences of the
twentieth century dwelling. The
parsonage, it is expected, will be COM
pleted and ready for occupancy by
the first of August.
FIR. A. Arzt, priest of the parish,
who is now in the twelfth year of his
service here, has for some time look
ed forward to this proposition and
has done lot of work to bring it
about. He now sees the fruition of
his labors. During his pastorate the
fine brick church has been built, and
when the parsonage is completed the
parish will be as well equipped as any
in this part of the state.
The brick and stone are on the
ground, having been hauled by MEM
bers of the congregation who contri-
buted their work. The parsonage
will be 3x46, fronting on Third street.
II is to be two stories, the founda-
tions, water sill and window trim
mings to be of cut granite from St.
Cloud, and the brick being from
Menomonie, Wis. A fine portico
eight feet wide extends along the
front and around some distance on
the Birch street side.
The main entrance is from Third
street into reception hall lOl by l2s
feet. To the right of this hall is the
office l3i by 10 feet. Back of this is
the study 16 by 10 and back of this
a bath room of ample size. On the
left side of the house and back of the
reception hall is the dining room,
octogonal in shape, with fine large
bay windows. This room is 16l by
49, feet. Back of this is the kitchen
II by Ii and in the rear of this the
pantry. There is rear entrance on
the west side of the house.
A wide staircase leads from the re-
ception hall to the second floor. At
the head of the stairway is s'den,"
cosy room with ample light. There
are four bed chambers and bath
room on this floor
In the basement there is ample
space for the heating plant,
storage and other necessary purposes.
The architecture of the house is of
attractive design and the structure
will adorn the ample grounds to the
east of the large church. The interior
will be finished in hard wood. The
floors will be of hard maple and the
other wood work of polished red oak.
The workmanship is to be of the
highest order Edw Hirt of st.
Cloud prepared the plans.
The contracts for the building are
about all let. The Ingram Lumber
Co. of this city viii furnish the rough
lumber. Dunnewald of st. Cloud has
contracted for the mill work. The
mason and brick work will be done by
Paul Koshiof of, Freeport- The labor
on the building will be done by local
workmen by the day; so that the
money will be spent right here in
Sank Centre.
This residence will be a very fine
addition to the property, and it is
hoped the congregation will work har-
moniously i'm the venture.
