St. Simon and St. Jude Roman Catholic Church

Built in 1860 in the High Gothic style; as an example of the work of the famed New York architect, Patrick Charles Keely. The substantial building was built of brick and the youth of the parish worked diligently to furnish the lime and sand required to make the mortar and over 500,000 bricks used during construction. When the building was completed, one exhuberant young man celebrated by climbing to the top of the spire! -Parks Canada
