Oh boy. Grew up near right near this property. As a kid we used to go into that mausoleum all the time and scare the crap out of ourselves. And we used to go in the old caretakers house right next to the Mausaleum. While it had been vandalized, it was so gorgeous at one time you could tell. Every room had beautiful wood flooring and molding and I remember each room had a sink in it. The basement was full of old newspapers and now I wish I had taken a few actually. These pictures have been amazing to look at. Brings back such memories of my childhood. I had never been inside the school though nor had I been in the upper floors of the mansion. Had only gone to the store on the bottom floor

I grew up right near Salesian during 60s, 70s & beyond. The mansion was beautiful at one time. In later years, there was a shop on the bottom floor that sold religious items. I was sick when the mansion was demolished. This photo is the back of it. I spent lots of time
as a kid there running around and riding my bike on the grounds. I. now walk in the park there. I must admit it has a haunting feeling.

Loved these photos! Grew up my entire childhood down the street from this place and spent much time as kids/teens running around on that property. We used to go into the servants house next door. It was not secured and the mausoleum also. I had never gone inside the school. The mansion had a store on the first floor for several years where one could buy Mass cards and other religious items. Had never seen the rest of the mansion though. I was sickened when that mansion was torn down!

I just want every one who has possiblie seen a episode on television or has read books or maybe even seen videos or photos to ask yourself one thing if it was you who had to live tjere would you like for someone to make a mockery about your life and put all of the bad things on a television show to get ratings.i think in my own opinion as a mother with a child that is mentally disable that if it was me and wheather or not if my child survived or passed away in that hellhole I would look in to having that place declared a momument maybe its just me but I thing those children deserve that much and also there families.

Its called a crash gate. Its to stop the flow of traffic if someone starts running or there is a fight. that way you can contain things. this was probably a prison hospital wing. Inmates get sick too.

This looks a lot like the things that I see psych patients write on the wall at the prison I work in.
