A c. 1833 house on the lot passes from Our Lady of Pompeii to the Scalabrinian missionaries
An earlier building stood on this site: a Federal-style house dating to about 1833. The Church of Our Lady of Pompeii owned it from 1941, and in 1947 the Pious Society of Missionaries of St. Charles Borromeo, the Scalabrinian order that founded the parish, began using it. The house stood until the society replaced it with a new community house in 1965.
