I love the comments from the former students. So many of the building have sad memories. It's good to see that this one was loved.

No mention of this death when I was there as a seminary student between 1963 and 1967. No students lived in this building. The photo is likely taken from the roof of the three-story school building where the students lived, except for three meals a day.

when I visited the ruins in 1994 the two side altars were reduced by a sledge hammer to two huge piles of rock left on the chapel floor.The main altar was spotted by an alert non SDB priest who had it professionally removed and relocated to a very large parish where it tis now the main altar. This Salesian property was sold at a tax auction sale due to horrendous mismanagement by the Salesians.

@rat: i'm thinking it's mold, due to the fact that it is in a bathroom where water could be found, and also because of how thin it looks.

I can still envision the Piano back in the corner and the Daughters of the Devine Zeal serving up what was actually pretty decent meals. The priests usually avoided the student dining room but Fr. Tim would go table to table serving coffee to the students.

Flashbacks to being assigned 1st waiter, 2nd waiter, dishes, etc. At one point my name fell off the dishwashing list and I got out of that duty for almost a year!

When we worked at Camp in the Summer we would get to eat (at least some meals I recall) in the priests dining room.

Fr. Dick's etiquette classes. It's all rushing back to me now!

Attended for 3 years from 1977-1979. The mansion, pavillion, tower, lake, grounds, etc. were all full of old world beauty. Summer Camp, Fall festival, classes of maybe 10 persons each, etc. all created an amazing world unto itself. I visited in about 1997 and was shocked to see how such a wonderful place had fallen into total ruin.
