Früher wurde die linke Hochburg eher gemieden und belächelt. Doch immer mehr Leute entdecken diesen vielschichtigen Bezirk, in dem es noch reichlich Platz gibt.

Monday morning, some parishioners gathered to watch the demolition of the old rectory at St. Alphonsus, 6301 344th Avenue. The building, built in 1895, was older than the church. It had survived the previous St. Alphonsus church that burned down after Sunday Mass, January 13, 1907.
This photo from about 1901 show the first church (1851), the second church (1885), and the rectory that was torn down on Monday.
There seems to be a list of reasons for not keeping the building any more. The rectory hasn’t been used for years. The ceiling is falling in. The shingles are coming off and the roof leaks. It’s falling apart. It’s too expensive to repair. Priests don’t stay by the church any more. The church had bought a separate building for visiting priests to stay in.
