History in my backyard-The Academy


According to various websites, The Academy in Vancouver, WA was built in 1871 by Mother Joseph of the Sisters of Providence. It was dedicated as the House of Providence in 1873, and opened as a women's boarding school in 1874. Today, several small business are housed there and the chapel can be rented out for weddings. These pictures are from yesterday morning.
