Saint Urban is an unincorporated community in Lewis County, Washington, United States. It is located approximately three miles NE of Winlock ((map )). It came about as German and Swiss immigrants settled here in the late 1800s. At the height of its prosperity the hub of this community, located at the intersection of Military Road and the Sargent Road, consisted of a small store, the Catholic church, a school and a Grange hall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ASF9ULO9hJY3ZGdmOWc5Z183ZGR6c3ZzY3g&hl=en )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.winlockwa.govoffice2.com/vertical/Sites/%7B131FF39D-640A-4A04-8D6F-F1B120929459%7D/uploads/%7BAF9467A8-11F6-435F-B3B2-5C830CF7957E%7D.PDF )〕 Today only the Grange Hall and church remain. The church has been decommissioned but a cemetery is still maintained. The church, originally called the Assumption Catholic Church (later called St. Urban) was dedicated on August 15, 1891. That day is the Feast of the Assumption. By the early 2000s the church building had become dilapidated and was in need of repair. The Archdiocese of Seattle was contemplating destroying the building. A group of former residents and their descendants, concerned about the loss of a historic landmark, formed the St. Urban Settlement Foundation in an effort to save the church. Volunteers worked in the restoration effort that culminated in the reopening of the building with a ceremony on August 15, 2010.〔 File:StUrbanCirca1915.tif|St. Urban Street Scene, c1915 File:St. Urban School Interior c1915.jpg|St. Urban School Interior, c1915 〔http://tdn.com/news/local/winlock-celebrates-completion-of-st-urban-restoration/article_edf281e6-a760-11df-8d0d-001cc4c002e0.html〕 == References == 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「Saint Urban, Washington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
