Rectory, Catholic Church of the Assumption is a historic rectory at 563 Ocean Avenue in Ferndale, California which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.^[1]

History[]

The first Catholic church in Ferndale was completed on 9 May 1879 and served until 1895 when it was moved from the corner of Washington and Berding streets to another lot on Washington.^[2] The new church was built at Washington and Berding by J.W. Blackmore, at a cost of $4,062.50 and dedicated on 16 August 1896.^[2]

In 1883 the first rectory was replaced with a second one on the site of the old one to the north of the church, facing Berding Street.^[2] In 1964, the congregation decided to tear down the second rectory building to build a third one, at a cost of $64,763.91.^[2] A descendant of one of Ferndale's pioneer families, Mrs. Viola Russ McBride, purchased the second rectory for $1.00 from Church authorities and had it moved to its present location at 563 Ocean.^[2]
