“Dunwoodie — 1966”
The Cardinal Spellman Recreation Center was completed in 1967, directly after Joseph's 1966 work year.
A strong family-history project at St. Joseph’s Seminary, widely known simply as Dunwoodie.
What Kelly did here
Family source
Probable
Likely: most likely CMU/concrete-block classroom, corridor, service and fire-rated walls, with exterior brick/block wall systems where the school/library used masonry cladding.
This scope is recorded as probable, not documented. It is a disciplined reading of the building and the trade practice of the period, not a contract-level record of Kelly’s work.
