St. Virgilius parish was founded in 1922. Now merged with St. Camilius parish in Rockaway.
Constructed as P.S. 43; later renamed P.S. 59 (Horace Greeley School). Designed by S. B. Leonard1 "School number forty-three has been built for primary purposes on Leonard street near Nassau avenue in Greenpoint. It is like the others that have been mentioned, a two story brick building, with a frontage of 46 feet and a depth of 92.
Constructed as the episcopal residence for the Bishop of the Brooklyn Diocese.1 Now LaSalle Hall, a residence hall for students (at Bishop Loughlin HS?). The Bishop's residence is now located on Clinton Avenue, in the former Charles Millard Pratt residence.
Building appears to be an older row house, and the decription (three stories with iron cornice) does not exactly match this structure, but the site is vacant on an atlas as of 1880, so this is presumably the building described in the 1884 NB application. In 1904, a new building application (#1300) was filed for a new two-story brick school house at the location of the existing school, Helme, Huberty & Co., architects. This building was not constructed and the existing building is roughly consistent with the description of the 1884 structure.
