SPRINGTIME 100 YEARS  APART
Here are two views of the Burton Street campus from the same spot on the front drive in the 1920’s and a century later in the 2020’s.
Click on the post card drawing for a larger image.  Click on the photo to launch a video from April 14, 2024 that shows the Main Building, the former St. Henry’s Hall and the former convent. The Main Building has been converted by Samaritas into a residence for low and moderate income adults.  St. Henry’s Hall and the convent are now used by Bethany Christian Services for youth services.
