4-story mission house completed in 1911. Designed by Joseph D. Harrison for the Switzer Institute for Vocation Training of Women which was founded by Margaret and Sarah Switzer. It later became the St. Joseph's School, and today houses the Vincent J. Fontana Center for Child Protection.

A stone first floor with square-headed windows forms a severe base for the high, round-arched windows of the second floor. The brickwork begins at second floor level and extends up to the cornice. Brick frames with stone impost blocks and keystones form the arches of the high windows; above, rectangular windows are used at third and fourth floor levels, with a continuous stone band course at sill level of the fourth floor. Above these top story windows, a broad but simple cornice crowns the building.
