Help Identify this Tree and Disease?

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to gardening and just discovered that one of the trees next to our sidewalk seems to be severely affected by a disease of some kind. The tree was planted by the previous owners of the house so I have no idea what it is... maybe someone here could help identify it? I looked at some websites and my guess is that it's a Dogwood but can't be sure.

Attached is a picture of one of the leaves with a purple splotch on it, other leaves also have purple/black 'bruises' on their tips and edges. On the underside of the leaves, the bruises look like decaying blisters - so disturbing to look at that I took a picture but decided not to post it here.

Any help identifying the tree and/or it's disease would be appreciated!! Thanks a lot!
