A lot of children must have seen these walls over the decades. You captured this place in it's very last days with beauty & the dignity it deserved. Thank you for sharing your talent & art.

Yet another beautiful gallery. Would be so neat if any of the kids who used to live there could happen upon these photos. What a story they could tell.

What a wonderful set! I love the architecture (what's left of it) of these buildings. I'm once again so happy you captured them before they were demolished. Thank you again, Mr. Motts. You are incredibly talented and we are all so fortunate that you share your work with us!

I have to tell you Motts...I am sick (bad cold) and I am SUPPOSED to be resting but darn you...you keep putting more interesting pictures up so I am too interested to go rest lol!

If I get sicker...I am blaming you. :D (Just kidding!)

I love your pictures...I guess I will just have to take more cold medicine and go through the gallaries I missed now! :D

Lovely gallery. Although it makes me a little sad that I went to high school only a few blocks away and never knew it was there.

Great gallery Motts. I wonder what happened to Lynne too. I am happy to see that so many women like abandoned buildings too. I wish I had a few people to explore with. I dont want to do it alone. Hi Debbie.

Mr Motts,you've given us a sad closure to our school. Ancilla Domini Academy was a wonderful place to be educated. The workwork inside was phenomenal. I went there for 12 years and knew it inside and out like the back of my hand. I thought that a Baptist seminary had bought it from the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart, but I could be mistaken. Thanks for the walk back in time!!
