Historic Building
Per the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the Immaculate Conception School, also called Compton Heights Catholic School, was completed in 1926, right around the time of the rectory.
The building was designed by Henry Hess in the Jacobethan Revival style. In its heyday, the school held 300-400 students mostly of German and Irish descent, run by the Sisters of Loretto. By the mid-1950s and into the ‘60s, the school welcomed Italian, Black and Puerto Rican students in the wake of a massive exodus of people from St. Louis for the suburbs.
By 1969, the St. Louis Arch Diocese consolidated the schools of St. Henry, Holy Guardian Angels, St. John Nepomuk, Sts. Peter and Paul and St. Vincent de Paul parishes into this single school building. At the time it had less than 100 students at the height of our residential free fall.
It was then the school was renamed to Compton Heights Catholic School, and the Sisters of Loretto were replaced by the Precious Blood Sisters becoming the Cession Heights School which was closed in 1979, and its students transferred to Notre Dame elementary school.
The school remained vacant for nearly six years until it became Lafayette Terrace Apartments.
