St. Anthony Roman Catholic Church, Rectory, Convent, and School

The former St. Anthony Roman Catholic Church, Rectory, Convent, and School is an redbrick historic Roman Catholic steepled church complex located at 2222—2238 West Market Street in Louisville, Kentucky. Designed by noted local architect William H. Redin in the Gothic Revival style of architecture, it was built in 1887. After a disastrous fire in 1939 which caused extensive damaged to all buildings in the complex except the rectory to the left of the church, architect Walter C. Wagner, Sr. designed the reconstruction of the complex which was done by Skilton and Sullivan Construction Co. In 1978 The school was merged with St Cecilia School and Our Lady of the Port Academy to form Community Catholic School on the St. Cecilia campus. On March 1, 1982, the complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places as March 01, 1982. In 2011 the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Louisville closed the church and the parish boundaries were absorbed into nearby Good Shepherd Parish.^[1][2][3]
