Description
St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Old Town was built on South Main Street in 1928 to serve the English-speaking portion of the population, as the larger St. Joseph’s Church was frequented by French Catholics. When the two Catholic parishes in Old Town merged in 1996, St. Mary’s Church became the home of the Old Town Museum.
The caption reads, "St. Mary's Church, Old Town, Maine."
The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938.
