 | | The one, known later as the 'White House,' contained the rooms of the president, vice-president, teacher, and seminarists, as well as the study rooms, class rooms and dormitory, and in its basement paved with flags were the refectory, store-rooms and cellar. |
 | | The other buildings which stood at the end and rear of the former (which fronted south) contained the kitchen, clothes-room, infirmary, etc.; the whole being under the superintendence of the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph's, then recently established by Mother Seton. |
