1,168 Comments for Salesian School

I was at a weekend retreat here in 1986. My brother graduated a few years before that. I remember this place vividly. All this decay now. Just imagining that very first cold Fall day or night when nobody was there to turn on the heat, after the last people had cleared out and abandoned the place. A few months later, the paint would start peeling, and the decay would begin. Sad, but poetic at the same time :-)

No, this is the Salesian school in Goshen, NY

I was at a Salesian boarding school near Ramsey NJ in 1`955-56. Is this the place? It had horses, a lake for fishing and swimming, boating. Favorite was Father Joe. Any info, pix would be welcome. is this the place?

I attended, foggy memories so help out, a Salesian boarding school in elementary grades at Ramsey NJ. Had horses, a lake we could fish in, favorite was a Father Joe. Is this the place? I was there in about 1955-1957.
Any info and, or pic

I'm the sister of the 9 yr old boy who died at the Salesian Camp in 1964. I googled Salesian camp & my heart dropped when I read about my brother. We believe he was murdered. The ever powerful Catholic church
covered everything up. Someone must have known something, but no one ever came forward.

Hello...I found Dominic Savio - seems he was a saint.

Does anyone know what building was in front of the school, closer to the road? It's gone now, except some bits of the stone foundation - an interesting ruin.
Also, who was Dominic Savio? There's a memorial to him on the same knoll as the water tower.
I like the photo, by the way. I have to get out there with my camera, too.

SCARY

I live in Goshen and i see that school a lot.

this is a very TYPICALLY servants stair way... Most Mansions have them... :)

Why have none of you who held this place so sacred explained the use of the electrical outlet?

Great shots.

Zack, Terry, Gerry, Tim? 65-69 also. Wow! Where've you all been?
Hmm... maybe I should turn that around.
How'd it take me so long to find my way here?

Goshen, New York (Orange County), in the Hudson Valley, about 40 or 50 miles west-north-west of NYC.

Mikado, Fidler, Olvier, Christmas band and chorus, and HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!
You got used to the radiators, especially during basketball (and there used to be a hinge structure on the ceiling, from which the goal would be lowered).
There was a space below the stage that was used to store costumes and props.
That tiny black square on the rear wall behind the curtain was one of the 4 "portholes" from the projectionist's booth.
