Description |
Aerial view of Baker City. St. Francis Academy and Cathedral. Behind the Cathedral sits the James W. Virtue house, which used to occupy the Academy lot facing Church St. When ex-sheriff and banker Virtue left Baker City in 1893, the Catholics added a large three-story addition and turned it into a Catholic school, including dormitory for Catholic children from outside of Baker City. From its temporary home behind the Cathedral and lacking the extention, the house was moved to 2436 Church St., where it was used as an apartment house for many years. Today it is a private residence. At middle top of photo is St. Elizabeth Hospital, today an apartment house. Can you find Basche-Sage Hardware Store on Main St.? |
