The oldest building, the three-story convent school, was built in 1883, and is the mother site of the Benedictine Sisters in the state. It has a fire shoot attached to one of the upper floors to allowed escape in case of a fire. Most of the children spoke German and were taught English. The convent school served the community until 1963, [2] when upgrades to comply with the fire code became cost prohibitive.
