I remember when it opened; it was actually a valid college -not just a religious "trade school."

Loved to go on retreats there. Thanks for the photos.
ReplyDeleteThe top building was the Daughters of Charity dormitory; the bottom, as you know, is the library.
ReplyDeleteHow convenient was it for the library and dorm to be connected; no excuses for not studying even if the weather was bad!
