We are located in the former convent and school that was part of St. Augustine’s Catholic Church. We are proud to be managing the historic building and keeping it open for those who want to visit and reminisce about their time here. We are a part of a resurgence of Barre Street–along with businesses, residents, and other organizations that make up our neighborhood, we work to make this a lively, art-filled, and lovely place to visit, live, and work.
