Old St. Anthony Mortuary being restored
There is much work to restore this old
historical building. Work such as blocks being
replaced, a new roof, new crosses put on top ends,
repairs to eaves, as you will see by the following pics,
the work is a must.
Also the old stained glass window that was broken
many years ago, is in the process of being rebuilt.
