Garvin and is a striking example of the neo-Gothic mode, a later continuation of the Gothic Revival style which was popular throughout the nineteenth century. The structure is richly ornamented with a wide variety of Gothic detail carved in stone which stands out against the red brick facade. Double entry doors located at the far right are set within an ogee-arched surround which is echoed by the arches of the grouped windows to the side and above.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, the stylistic motifs are vertical in emphasis, which is evident in the tall, slender windows and chimney stack, a steep hipped roof topped by crockets and spindles, and a peaked dormer at attic level. This vertical play is balanced by the use of label lintels and moldings, a common feature of the style, horizontal bands of stone and brick at first-story level, and a particularly handsome stone cornice frieze carved with low Gothic arches. With its crisp details and polychromatic facade, the rectory makes a strong architectural statement along a bleak industrial section of St. Ann&#8217;s Avenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location: 833 St. Anns Avenue.
