St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Parish Complex is a historic former Roman Catholic church complex located in Buffalo in Erie County, New York.

Description

The St. Francis Xavier complex consists of a Lombard-Romanesque Revival basilica style church (1911–1913), a Queen Anne style rectory (1895), and a school completed over three phases in 1895, 1906, and 1956. The church measures 156 by 67 feet (48 by 20 m) and is two and one-half stories high with a low-pitched red clay tile roof. A large rose window is centered on the front façade above a triple arched entry. A campanile rises roughly 114 feet (35 m) from the southwest corner of the structure and holds a four-sided clock on its fifth level.[2]

After the Diocese of Buffalo announced in 2007 that the parish would close,[3] the Buffalo Religious Arts Center, a museum that collects religious artifacts from closed churches in Buffalo, bought the property and continues to occupy it.[4][5]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
