Description

The Renaissance style church was built in 1913 by Walter F. Fontaine to serve Woonsocket's French-Canadian community. The complex originally encompassed a church, school, convent, parish house and a gymnasium that doubled as a theater.

The church closed in October 2000 and later reopened as the St. Ann Arts and Cultural Center.[1] The St. Ann's complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[2]
