CORNERSTONE LAID.
Beginning of the Redemptorist Fathers'
Church, to Cost $150,000.
The ceremony of breaking ground for the new church of the Redemptorist Fathers, at Hunter avenue and Broadway, took place at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Father Ferreol Girardey presided. Work will begin this morning, and within a year and a half the Fathers hope to see the building completed.
The stone spire, 230 feet high, and the gothic architecture of the structure will be the features. The church will face on Broadway, a little south of the present group of buildings. The dimensions are 72 x 204 feet, and the estimated cost $150,000. Wilder & Wight are the architechts.
