Church of the Blessed Sacrament, Priory, and School
historic place
The Church of the Blessed Sacrament, Priory, and School in Seattle, Washington, is recognized as a historic place. The parish was founded on December 6, 1908, by Father Francis Driscoll, established to serve the University District community and students at the University of Washington. The main church building, designed by Beezer Brothers architectural firm in a Late Gothic Revival style, was completed on October 4, 1925. The priory, serving as the residence for Dominican Friars, was completed in 1922. An original school building was finished in 1913, though it was later replaced in 1950. This complex was designated a Seattle Landmark in 1981 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1984. It stands as Seattle's only parish owned and operated by the Dominican Order, reflecting its architectural merit and religious significance in the early 20th century.
