It took me a while to figure out exactly where we are on the property and even so I'm still not a 100% sure. As far as I can tell we are in the courtyard area lined up with the chapel. Yet this view seems further back, closer to where another school is on this property. But an old map told me what the streets were and its not as far back as I thought.
There were no postcards of this building, its a Civil war era picture, the shades of color are often different than what you would think. So this brightly shaded building could have been a dark red. But I decided to follow the colors of the local town as they are now. Figuring that they continued a tradition.
This entire location was demolished around 1908 or so, and rebuilt in 1909.
