found

on a walk with rudy yesterday.

returned to take pictures today. this old catholic convent is being turned into a condo building.

which could either be amazing, or sad, if they remove all the things that make this building so interesting.

what's kinda funny is that, even though the whole thing was fenced in, the fence gates just opened up. so i was able to get right up next to the building and look in the windows. even climbed to the top floor on the back staircase. this is so rare in a city were empty building are routinely boarded up with metal housing on the windows, because so often someone will break all the windows and then steal all of the copper piping to sell.

this building seems to have been empty for quite some time without that happening.

maybe even hoodlums still respect that its consecrated ground and don't wish to destroy church property. an interesting possibility.
