1930 - Eclectic (Contributing)
St. Stanislaus School Library and Chapel Two-story, American bond brick, Eclectically-styled building with a concrete foundation. The main (north) façade faces away from Bookter Street. It is eight-bays-wide with brick segmentally-arched windows and doors (currently boarded). On the second floor, the first four bays are large windows with round brick arches. The last four bays are mostly single and paired 6/6 double-hung-sash windows; this section has a mezzanine and at one time was used to provide living quarters for the brothers working at the school. The living quarters are located behind the chapel, which occupied the east half of the second story and is marked by the round-arched windows on the north, south and east sides. A two-story arcaded gallery extends across the main façade. On the south elevation, there is a ground level basement entrance. The first-story bays on the south façade have brick segmental arches. On the second story, the first four bays are round-arched windows with hold molds that duplicate the second-story windows on the east façade. The last four bays on the south elevation duplicates the multi-story bay arrangement on the main façade. Concrete belt courses divide the stories. The building has a molded entablature and a simple parapet. (NOTE: originally listed as 107 Bookter)
