| Additional Information: | The Henry Bertram house, later used as Sacred Heart College, is not architecturally significant as one of the better examples of the Italianate style in the city becasue of the removal of some of the architectural details. However, sufficient architectural character remains for the former Bertram house used as the first building of the Sacred Heart College established in 1872 to meet the criteria of the National Register for historical significance. SEE record #0077387 for more history of Sacred Heart College. |
