Sublunar Photography

The Catholic Boarding School was constructed in the 1840s as a Methodist High School. During the civil war, it served as a Union hospital. In the 1870s, it was purchased by a group of nuns who transformed it into the boarding school in which capacity it served until the 1970s after which it was a convent before finally being abandoned.

The property was eventually sold to its current ownership who transformed it into a bed and breakfast. I stayed here for a weekend recently. The portions of the property that are now part of the bed and breakfast are entirely renovated to such an extent that they are cleaner and more comfortable than most places I've ever stayed and I highly recommend getting a room here. I met the owner who took us on a tour and who agreed to let me photograph the place. She even fired up the pipe organ in the chapel and let me play it -which is something I've ALWAYS wanted to do. It was fucking awesome. This place is cool as hell and, thankfully, so is the owner.

All of the pictures here are of the off-limits portions of the property. People do live in the main buildings now and freely roam the halls of these old buildings. I assured the ownwer that if I posted the photos online, I would not identify the location by name because I wouldn't want to associate their livelihood with photos of the buildings that haven't been fully renovated. Again, the bed and breakfast happens in *entirely separate buildings* than what you see below. And if you want to see this place, support them by renting a room for the night, talking to the owner and taking a tour of the place. I'm glad I did and I definitely plan to stay here again.
