THE RETREAT HOUSE
Once the mansion of Mr. F. S. Peabody was
built in 1922. It is English Tudor Gothic style.
After the death of Mr. Peabody the Franciscan
Fathers of Sacred Heart Province purchased
the entire estate of 800 acres for the purpose
of building thereon the Seraphic College for
students preparing for the Franciscan Priest-
hood.
