Can you identify this spot?

Last week we asked you to identify a building from the past that's still around.

This week we have another photo from Nelson Dionne's collection, and it's tougher to identify.

Do you have any idea where this Salem spot is located? Do you have any memories of it?

Let us know in the comments, and we'll have an answer for you Sunday.

My paternal grandmother (Memere) was a parishioner there until she died in 1967. The church let her down tremendously in her time of need but she never let her church down. Many in my family were educated, baptized, confirmed, married, and mourned in there.

This is the old St Joseph's priest house, church, and school. The statue which was on top of the old church is buried in the parking lot next to the current church.

Frank is correct. I watched the old church go down and buried right where he said it is. I was a parishioner there myself.
