Located at the corner of Wheeling and York St. is the closed Holy Rosary Church. There is almost no information about this church and only a couple websites about this church. I believe the reason for this church being so forgotten is due the more known Cathedral. This is the photo I took. Still fairly preserved along with the nun's house on the left and the rectory in the image below, although the rectory has an ivy issue.
Both the nun house and rectory are abandoned and closed.
This is what the interior looked like. Very 1950s. The side altars are nice.
Next to the Church is a grotto with a statue of the Holy Rosary. Today, the statues are gone, but the grotto structure is somehow still there.
The school has a similar design. It might have been a chapel because of that entrance
This is the original church located on the corner of Paine and Genesee.
You can find more images at the Epiphany of the Lord website
here, where I found most of the images.

The old school building may have been the old St. Ignatius Catholic Church from the early 1900s. It was merged with the Holy Rosary Church.
The school building is the old St. Ignatius Church from the early 1900s it merged once Holy Rosary became a parish and it was used as a school building.
