Nault.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MACRIS inventory record for Holy Name of Jesus Complex )〕 The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.〔 The first building of the complex to be completed was the school, begun in 1893 an dedicated in 1898. It is a three story brick building, with projecting entry bays at its ends. It underwent some alterations in 1926, but its Romanesque Revival styling is still evident in the round entry arch and other details. The church, although it was also begun in 1893, was not finished until 1916. It is also a brick structure, with granite trim elements providing contrasting details. The church facade is flanked by a pair of buttressed towers, which have been topped by parapets. Windows and doorways on various elevations are in characteristic Romanesque round arch forms.〔 The Convent of St. Anne was built 1922-24, and is a three story brick Georgian Revival structure. It has a hip roof above an elaborately detailed Classical cornice, and its entrance is sheltered by a barrel-roofed portico. The rectory was also begun in 1922, and completed in 1928. It is a two story brick building also in Georgian Revival styling, with a Classical frieze and cornice, and porches sporting Ionic columns.〔 ==See also== *National Register of Historic Places listings in southwestern Worcester, Massachusetts *National Register of Historic Places listings in Worcester County, Massachusetts 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holy Name of Jesus Complex (Worcester, Massachusetts)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
