Mica..Yep! That's what I think, too. I personally could NEVER live the life of a nun..no way, no how.

Ah, thank you, I'm as Protestant as they come.

But Google Earth is cool & kind; you can see this ronded part really well.

Yes, that door lintel gorgeous - and there are three Hinges. Strong.
And a well-made oak pew looks good even in a modern setting.
Please re-use.....

Aha. Yes.
Thank you!

looks like he had a bloody nose and it got all over his shirt

if taggers were "artists" they would not tag a place such as this.

I would imagine it is a loaf of bread, to symbolize the charity this person has given to children in need.

In Christian tradition the tabernacle is where the Eucharist is stored, and is typically locked to prevent unauthorized use of the consecrated items within.

I just returned from an old botany museum, and saw a very similar device on display - it was used for measuring small quantities of plant material for use in pharmaceuticals. Since the piece photographed above was owned by the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, I presume it was used for the same purpose; perhaps creating the right amount of materials for making pills.

Mission Hill Convent - such fine name - sounds so purposeful; like you would have to climb to reach, and then be rewarded with a view.

Thanks Mr. Motts - really like this alone/lonely 1950-ties armchair in a pink room with a corner window: The Chair even looks PINK! (but it´s beige?)
Wonder if it faces East - and Our Lady Of Perpetual Help may be seen?

Even a head smashing idiot realized that sometimes it's best to leave the life size Jesus alone.

Amazed that this was all left.

I'm usually a 'leave stuff there' person, but this really should be saved. It looks like the door would spin open instead of open out and there is a small tray that would slide out of the top. This is a very neat piece.

I'm impressed that like the chapel this painting hasn't been destroyed yet.
