Nice work, I went to grade school across the street and know some girls who went to Eden Hall but never made it inside.

It makes me want to cry...

such beauty left behind. Years of craftsmanship, of pride into this building... souls saved, epiphanies reached.

reduced to a shell of a building, disrespected by vandals and returned to the earth under a bulldozer's tread.

That is the way of us all, I guess.

While researching some family history, we found that my grandfather had listed Eden Hall as his final destination when he came to the U.S. from Alsace in 1902. He worked there as a gardener.
Thank you for these beautiful and heartbreaking photos, which allow us a glimpse into a lost world.

It always amazes me that our culture can just knock these treasure down and not think anything of it. Its as if the intricate stonework and woodwork, craftmanship and hours put into creating these works of art mean nothing.

Thank you Motts for this beautiful gallery. It could be one of my favorites! It makes me literally sick that some morons burned this exquisite building down. I used to work at another Sacred Heart School....our chapel was nowehere near as beautiful as this one!
