Old Landmark in Monroe Giving Way To Progress
A historic downtown Monroe house at 112 Oak Street is being razed to expand the Wright Bendel Clinic. The building once served as Grace Episcopal church rectory and stood near the St John street site of today’s clinic. A 1900 era fire destroyed the original Grace church, with a temporary frame church occupying the site afterward.
