I noticed on the posting that Architectural Antiques indicates that they conducted the salvage at the site.  I thought they only bought the angels?  I know I took down the ceiling medallions and much of the plaster work and other treasures.  I still have parts at the shop if anyone is in the market.

That was amazing. Too bad it was taken apart. As kids playing on what was  then undeveloped land around the children's home, we'd stumble on the marble cast-offs from the sculpters.

Not sure, Tim. I didn't know Kevin until college, and never heard about it. I think he lived in California for part of his childhood. He might have been raised by wolves.

I have a few postcards of St. Joe's in the X-Comm archives. You must have been playing in the overgrown grotto. 

I remember the haunted house, scary stuff, you would walk through the old boarding rooms.  Also, I contacted one of the guys at Architectural Antiques a few years back and he said he had a picture of the chapel as they were taking it down.  My mother visited a church in Spokane, WA where a lot of the cherubs were sent.  I think she might have some pictures, I'll try to find them.
