Nobody has respect for age and history anymore. I think that is why we lose so much of our history by demolition.

there were tall carved wooden posts along the aisles...each pew. awesome...and gone by the time of this photo. visited the chapel in '89 as a gathering of the class of '69 was being put together...it grew to a gathering of the faithful from eden hall of sooo many classes...at overbrook academy. we wept alot and still miss the wonders of our school...and the wonderful nuns, RSCJ , who taught us. Our Lady's Chapel taught us, also. '53

I just don't understand how people can let beautiful buildings go to waste. Reusing old buildings reduces our carbin footprint . That is what recycling is all about.

I sure hope they can save it. I imagine the stories of working there would be very entertaining.

Goodbye Lonely Chair

I just wish there were monies to save these old buildings. I know we aren't perfect in Europe but we seem to find uses for ours more I think. My brother lived in a 1000 year old soldiers barracks (they made them into apartments, it was amazing to see what they used as insulation, they weren't finished with all of them so we got to see them during the remodel). I just wish the government would realize how important the buidlings are. Once you lose them a part of our history is gone forever. Memories are also gone forever.

The awnings on the old postcard are surprising, and change the character of the building.
