| Description: | Pictured is a front view of the old St. Peters Convent. There is a white picket fence and the gate is open. There are a number of tall trees along the gate. An old car is visible to the left. |
| Narrative: | Father Colin Chisholm oversaw the construction of the pictured convent. It was the second St. Peters Convent and was completed in 1898. In 1970, during the tenure of Father Frank MacNeil, it was demolished as it was too large (it was no longer being used as a school) and difficult to maintain. The date of circa 1935 is based upon the model of car in the photo. |
