The dormitory was originally constructed to house students of the Monte Maria Academy, but when the school closed, the Sisters moved into the building themselves. It is said that the Sisters would change sleeping quarters periodically so that they could meditate on the particular saint or virtue to which the room was dedicated. The move also prevented them from becoming attached to any one room. The Solarium Built on the westernmost foundations of the old Adams mansion, our solarium was originally an open-air porch. It was enclosed during the 1960's and now serves as a meeting room for retreats.
