Sculpture - The Last Supper Church of the Assumption 61 N Cliff St, Ansonia, CT 06401

The Church was designed by architect Patrick Charles Keely (1816-1896) of Brooklyn, New York, the leading church architect of his day. The church was built by J. M. Wheeler of Ansonia, under the supervision of James Houghton, Patrick Keely’s son- in-law. The first stone was laid on September 16, 1889; and two years later, on Sunday, September 6, 1891, the cornerstone was put into place by Very Rev. James Hughes, V.G., acting for Bishop Lawrence McMahon, who was in Europe at the time. From the time of the ground-breaking (1889) until the time of its completion (1907), the new church took eighteen years to build.
