The Monsignor Patrick Anthony Folk Research Centre was housed on one acre of land at Mount Pleasant. The building was first constructed in the 1900’s and consisted of three floors, a veranda to the south and the east, and ruins of servants’ quarters and garage to the north. Unfortunately, the building was completely demolished by a mysterious fire on the night of March 2018. All of the prized collection of artifacts and books accumulated over a period of 45 years, were lost.
The FRC is determined to rebuild and improve its headquarters for a return to its home at Mount Pleasant. As a result, the organization has commenced plans to achieve this major milestone.
More information will be made available to the public at a later date, including an architectural representation of what the rebuilt headquarters will look like.
