St Brendan's Catholic Church, Keene




St Brendan's Catholic Church, 1882  Keene
(photo 4/21/11)

This solid, square attractive building on Church St. is probably seen more from the back by travelers between the Northway and Lake Placid. On the web I find a date of 1868 for the founding of the congregation and the church was built by Father John Fitzgerald in 1883, though I thought the date above the door said 1882. I like the fretwork design of quatrefoils and crosses at the gable vergeboard.
