Brief History:
Holy Rosary Church at 2011 N Oakland Ave was built in 1885 in a blend of Queen Anne, Stick Style and Romanesque architectural styles. Extensive renovations have taken place since 1986. Though not intended for any particular ethnic group, through the years it acquired an Irish identity. It operated an elementary school, grades 1-8, from 1885 to 1982 which was guided by the BVM sisters. The school building is now the K3-1st Grade campus for Catholic East Elementary.
