Beautiful. It always surprises me when something that could have great uses in an area that really appreciates its history is torn down.

Yes! More galleries! I kinda held out hope that i might be the first to post for once...but alas it was not to be.

It is definitely the perfect day for it, on Long Island its a cold and rainy day...perfect for this.

I get the sense by how squat the entrance was, that people were pretty short back then. :-)

This is so sad. I was hoping that they could restore it. R.I.P.

Oh! I'm crying as I sit and look at these pictures. I graduated from the school in 1964 and went to Mass every day in that gorgeous chapel as I was a boarding student. It tears my heart apart. ....

I agree with you, Diana. I was in the class of '58. I never expected to see it again, but somehow I still expected it to keep on being there. This is a shock and a shame.

I was baptized in this chapel when I was 11 years old and a student at Eden Hall. Knowing it is no longer there makes me very sad. It is so full of so many memories for so many people.

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.

To demolish such beauty is indeed a Sin.

To demolish such beauty is a sin indeed.

Out of sight, out of mind; the Society of the Sacred Heart perhaps wanted to forget what they once were.

We could use Catholic boarding schools like this again.

My mother was a student here in the late 1950s. She died at the age of 27, and her yearbook from Eden Hall gave me a glimpse of who she was. I was so fortunate to visit Fleur Park In 2002 and see the chapel myself. It was very moving. What a shame that it could not be preserved. I couldn't find a way into the chapel. Thank you for these beautiful photographs.
