Administrative History

The Seventh Ward Mission left little mark in the historical record. It was located at the corner of Brighton and Rowley streets in Rochester, New York. It appears to have been a Presbyterian mission in a largely immigrant community, possibly associated with Third Presbyterian church. The school that this collection concerns was most likely a Sunday school building.
