Providence Hall: a grand structure

Did you know that Providence Hall:

• was built after a horrific fire on Feb. 7, 1889, burned down the convent built by Saint Mother Theodore Guerin?

• has been “green” long before being green was a buzzword?

• was brightened “by six hundred lights … a most imposing scene?”

• was blessed on Sept. 8, 1890, by the Most Rev. Francis Silas Chatard?
