Rectory, Catholic Church of the Assumption is a historic former rectory built in 1883. It now stands at 563 Ocean Avenue in Ferndale, California and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

History

[edit]

The first Catholic church in Ferndale was completed on 9 May 1879 and served until 1895 when it was moved from the corner of Washington and Berding streets to another lot on Washington.[2] The new church was built at Washington and Berding streets by J. W. Blackmore, at a cost of $4,062.50 and dedicated on 16 August 1896.[2]

In 1883 the first rectory was replaced with a second one on the site of the old one to the north of the church, facing Berding Street.[2] In 1964, the congregation replaced the second rectory building with a third one, at a cost of $64,763.91.[2] A descendant of one of Ferndale's pioneer families, Mrs. Viola Russ McBride, purchased the second rectory for $1.00 from Church authorities and had it moved to its present location at 563 Ocean Avenue.[2]
