Freshman...sophomore and Junior classrooms on the secon floor along with three private superior rooms (right middle) and the infirmary (left)

There was a statue of St. Micheal on this level going from the study hall to the chapel of St. Micheal...we used to touch the head of satan under St. Mike's foot....

I lived in that cell on the top floor next to the sinks...

It was never beautiful... but it was home for so many years.....

I have a piece of the stain glass of the Salesan Crest that was positioned above the main door..

I painted this fireplace in the summer of 1969. The room was in bad shape and was only used for storage. Several of the seminarians refinished the floor and painted to turn the room into useable space.

I went to high school at this school from 1965 to 1969. It's really a shock to see what happened to this place.

WOW.

THAT IS A FAB SINK!

I DONT THINK THAT THE COVER IS THE ORIGINAL.

The Mansion was originally 2 houses. They where later connected by a center wing.

Many people are upset it wasnt preseved, but it should have been done long ago, The front wall of the mansion collapsed over a year ago. The bathtub that crashed through the second floor before that hurried the wall to its demise. As i said before. The mansion was demolished May 2005. The school still stands. But for how long?

It was torn down May 2005

There were plans to move the town library there, but the library nixed the idea. "If this site is to be considered further, it is recommended that the existing Salesian Seminary School Building be completely demolished and removed. It will cost less to demolish the existing building and construct a new library in its place than attempting any renovations of the existing structure. The existing building for the Library's use has no salvage value.

The asbestos report prepared in 1998, indicates an estimated cost of $490,962.00 for asbestos removal. This cost did not include the cost of plaster and roofing abatements if required. An updated asbestos removal cost is recommended. It is also recommended that the full requirements for testing as required by Industrial Code Rule 56 be applied. All plaster and roofing materials will have to be tested.

Once abated, the building could be demolished. The most efficient way to demolish this building would be with heavy equipment. The construction demolition material could be sorted for recycling. The two primary end products will be masonry and steel. Disposal of all demolition products is based on weight or tonnage.

Because the costs associated with demolition projects varies greatly based on such factors as trucking distance, availability of disposal sites, workers compensation costs, demolition costs have been solicited from an independent source. Lamela Sanitation will be providing a non-binding estimate of the structure removal cost. Their estimate will be based on all asbestos containing materials being removed in advance of demolition. Mr. Lamela indicated that should the plaster contain asbestos, the owner should consider building demolition as a complete asbestos abatement project. He indicates that plaster removal independent of the structural demolition would be a very expensive and time consuming process that would add greatly to the cost of asbestos abatement.

The demolition costs will be provided to the Goshen Public Library and Historical Society as soon as the estimate is received.

The cost of demolition and removal as well as asbestos abatement should be considered in the value of the property. Property price should be adjusted based on who is performing the abatement, demolition and disposal. "
