St. Joseph's Church was an historic Roman Catholic church at Howard Street and East Columbus Avenue in Springfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1873-77, it was a brick Romanesque Revival structure with brownstone trim, and was a fine local example of the style. It was designed by Patrick Keely, and first served the area's French Canadian population. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[2] In March 2008, the church was demolished by the Colvest Group, which had bought it from the Diocese of Springfield in Massachusetts.[3]
