Saint Jerome Rectory in Holyoke

Saint Jerome Rectory in Holyoke

The Saint Jerome Rectory was finished in 1880.  It is built in the Second Empire style.  The first rectory of Saint Jerome’s was at a home on the northeast corner of Dwight and Elm Streets (108 Elm Street).  Father Harkins did not like it there so he had the new rectory built. James Sullivan had purchased the first rectory in October of 1859.

Priests who worked at the schools and the church lived there and so did the house staff.  Grace and Catherine Harkins lived there as staff for many years.
