This building should not be turned into a condominium it should be saved for the people of Peekskill and even those who live in the condos now there. <br /><br />I remember the first time I walked into those chapels it was in the mid-seventies actually early 70s and as an altar boy the sisters were so kind to me and so sweet (of course they could nothing but kind & sweet) and they always had a smile that would say thank you without even saying a word and on the one time I went up there it was shortly after we lost one of our dogs a miniature collie to be exact one of the sisters was coming out of the chapel and I was visibly crying because I loved that dog; she walked up to me put her arms around my shoulder and asked me what was wrong and I told her then we walked into the chapel together and she said a prayer for my dog and one for me and when she was finished I asked her "Sister did you say a prayer for me?" and she said "Because you were sad your dog passed away and I wanted you to that your dog is with God and that for you to have tears of joy not sorrow." <br /><br />This Chapel must be saved; it must not be destroyed. I'm a journalist now I have my own news service and if anyone out there knows who the developer is and how to reach them please let me know. As I said at the beginning of my comment I am deeply saddened and heartbroken because this beautiful architecture and history is going to be lost forever <br />and only because greedy developers just want to make money caring little for the beauty of the chapel and the history it holds.George Sinzer, Journalist at FIREFOXNEWS ONLINE™https://www.blogger.com/profile/04934429849080442010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563849239571501746.post-3687821963815459292017-03-30T14:54:08.747-04:002017-03-30T14:54:08.747-04:00I was a Sister at St. Mary's in the 70's a...I was a Sister at St. Mary's in the 70's and 80's (had taken annual vows} and was the Sacristan for about 2 years.

Although we did not have any (formal) get-togethers that year, it is my understanding that both had been closely united since the founding of ST. MARY'S(the PEEKSKILL ACADEMY was organized in 1833). The CIVIL WAR had provided ADDED momentum to the need to care for orphans and children, finding themselves without parents within the bitter confines of New York City(sole immigration station from 1855).<br />I suspect, although I cannot yet verify, that there was an "student exchange" of sorts, certainly understandable despite the ostensible "military"/all male feature that the Academy adopted in 1857. At founding the Academy had been COEDUCATIONAL, 1838-1841, which may have been precedent.<br />Any old stories that would add character to our occasional meeting would be appreciated.

Work is going to begin sometime soon. In the meantime, Miguel Hernandez from the West Chester Historical Society has written a good Blog on the creation of the convent. <br /> The West Chester Historical Society and the Peekskill Historical Society will be running a visit to the convent in two weeks. I wish I could contact everyone who has seen this page and invite you all to come and discuss the Convent's history. If enough alumni from the convent want to see it again, contact Mr. Hernandez at the West Chester Historical Society. The June 25th tour may be the last chance to photograph in the convent and not the condos.<br /><br /> Desperately searching: Does anyone have a recording of the organ or the organ and choir in the convent? There is a very outside chance that a patron can be found to pay for the restoration of the Franklin Roosevelt organ.<br /><br /> My thanks to all who post on this page for all the information you have given, and especially to our host for the pictures. Hopefully, around 2022, the anniversary of Henry Martyn Congdon's passing, you will be able to get a book about how he was trained and how he worked with contractors. <br /> Sincerely, the great granddaughter of Henry Martyn Congdon Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563849239571501746.post-71279350088254095322016-05-07T01:08:28.232-04:002016-05-07T01:08:28.232-04:00I was chaplain at SMS nearly 50 years ago and can ...I was chaplain at SMS nearly 50 years ago and can answer some questions. There were two plaques at the school (may still be there) and one of these named Cram as the architect of that building (he had not begun his career when the convent itself was built), the other memorialized Hetty Green (I believe as a benefactress of the school -- which may have grown out of the circumstances of her baptism. <br /><br />I don't know what happened to the school organ though some of the sisters at Greenwich might recall.
