It's not part of the Salesian property

MY DAD, BOB JOHNSON, REPAIRED THE ROOF AND PAINTED THE WATER TOWER A DARK GREEN BACK IN 55 OR 56. HE RIGGED UP A BOSEN CHAIR TO GO UP AND DOWN AND SPRAY THE TOWER. I STILL REMEMBER HE WORE A SAILORS WHITE HAT INSIDE OUT TO COVER HIS HEAD. HE WORKED THERE FOR MANY YEARS STARTING IN 1939. HIS BROTHER, FATHER FRED JOHNSON, MY UNCLE WAS AT ONE TIME THE PREFECT AT THE SCHOOL. HE IS NOW BURIED IN THE CEMETARY OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE TOWER. FATHER FRED GAVE ME MY FIRST HAIRCUT IN HIS ROOM IN THE (NOW GONE) ADMIN BUILDING WHEN I WAS THREE YEARS OLD.
THERE ARE MANY MANY MEMORIES IN MY FAMILY OF THE SALESIAN SCHOOL.
THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE ON THIS SITE.

Beautiful shot. I just love Autumn.

Very pretty window...great shot!

wow... absolutely striking.

That's cool, in a very cute way.

maybe the "brother" controlled the temp so the patients wouldn't scald themselves?

I cleaned this stairwell as a freshman in 1962. It literally shined like the top of the Chrysler building. We can't go home.

I went to the building many times last summer (because I live in Goshen right near the school) and I have to say that now it is much more difficult to get in the building because of the building being gutted and renovated...its sad to see them demolish the building.

PS--the reason it closed was the lack of enrollment...although many people like to attribute it to the death of Paul Ramos

History apparently means nothing. This is an example of how we will never have the historic architecture as in Europe....we continue to tear it down.
