3 1/2"h x 3"w black and white photograph of Saint Mary's Beacon building showing the back and one gable end of the building. This was a substantial edifice with a hyphen connecting the nearer building to another one to the right. The building was on a corner. The near structure had a metal gable roof without any dormers. It was probably stuccoed. On the visible gable end was a pair of outside chimneys widely spaced; only one such chimney was visible on the far end. There was a small louver in the attic space. On the second floor was a sizable six over six double hung window close to the near corner, a door with four lights in its upper half between the chimneys, and probably another window on the far corner, although it is not visible. On the first floor was an enclosed shed roof addition that covered both of the chimneys. The door on the second floor opened onto the shed roof. There were two six over six double hung windows on the street side and one similar window on the end. In the center of the street side was a double door with windows. I think there was an awning over that entrance. There was an oil tank on the end that partially obscured the window. There was one visible six over six window on the first floor gable end very close to the corner of the building. On the back of the building were two six over six double hung windows on the second floor at the corners and three such windows evenly spaced on the first floor. The utilities came to the building at the corner closest to the photographer. The hyphen was also gable roofed in the same orientation as the first building, but not as tall. Three windows were visible on the second floor and probably two were on the first floor. The next building was at right angles to the hyphen. It had a newer metal roof, two visible dormers, and an addition off the gable end. Three arched windows are visible on the first floor of the addition.
