This year the St. Roch convent will be one of the homes to be visited on the tour. Prior to 1939, the nuns taught at St. Roch’s but lived outside the neighborhood. Then a fourfamily flat was purchased at 321 N. Rosedale. At that time, it was transformed into a twofamily dwelling, one part becoming the convent, the other being the home for the caretakers. Because of this renovation the convent is quite large; at one time it was home for a dozen or more nuns. Due to its size and the fact that it had been two dwellings it is extremely easy to become lost in the house. The rooms are spacious and attractive. Though much of the woodwork has been painted there remains a considerable portion which has the original finish thus presenting a charming contrast between styles of different eras. The small parlor boasts a fireplace with benches on either side making it a popular room in winter. The dining room has french windows opening onto a porch facing Waterman.
When the convent was established, a chapel was built on the second floor for the sisters. It is a simple, serene room with a beautiful wood tabernacle. Unfortunately, the craftsman who did the work is unknown. Another interesting architectural feature is two large wooden cabinets in one of the second floor rooms. They appear to have been added to the room but the wood and mouldings are the same as the original. If they weren’t part of the house, they were very skillfully added to appear built-in.
Only the first two floors of the convent will be open for the tour but that should be sufficient to both demonstrate the beauty of the house and to thoroughly confuse people’s sense of direction. A.W.
