Description
English: As seen in October 2020: the original 1922 brick building that housed Our Lady of Peace Roman Catholic Church, at 10946 Main Street in Clarence, New York. Belying the building's humble appearance is an interesting stylistic hodgepodge, freely borrowing elements of Colonial Revivalism (namely the symmetrical façade and the open bell tower crowning the front gable) and Gothic (the pointed arches that once crowned the windows and front entrance, bricked over today but still retaining their decorative keystone voussoirs). The second Catholic church to serve Clarence, Our Lady of Peace was cleaved off the parish territory of St. Teresa of Avila in Akron (and St. Teresa's pastor, John Uriel, was recruited) to serve the Catholics of Clarence Hollow. Father Uriel was succeeded ten years later by Father Edward Godfrey, who oversaw a substantial expansion of Our Lady of Peace's parish, including the addition of a rectory to the building. Bucking the larger trend in the Diocese of Buffalo, which saw the size of many churches stagnate and then shrink beginning in the middle 20th century, Our Lady of Peace has continued to grow in parallel with the population of Clarence itself; the building seen here was superseded in 1964 by its current one.
