The “First Church of Saint Vincent” was built in 1825 in the Fort Hill section of Boston. In 1872, during reconstruction of the Fort Hill area, it was dismantled and the materials were used to construct the new Church in South Boston by Patrick C. Keeley in 1872-1874. In 2002, restoration began and included the replacement of gutters, flashing, downspouts with copper matching the original profile; the replacement of roofs with slate (for lower) and with asphalt shingles (for upper); the cleaning and repointing of masonry; repair of soffits, cornices and window frames; replication of eighteen circular windows and the re-leading of stained glass.
