Summary
| Description |
English: Jesuit priest Pater Fredrick Hugo Eberschweiler S.J. (1839–1918) and several Ursuline nuns survey the ruins of the boys' school and dormitory at St. Peter's Mission near Cascade, Montana, in the United States around 1887.
The mission was founded by Roman Catholic priests belong to the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1881. The boys' school building was constructed in 1887. This four-story stone building featured a mansard roof, dormers, and square cupola above the front entrance. The building contained dormitory space for male students, classrooms, a smithy, a cobbler shop, a carpentry shop, and a dining room. A three-story wood frame priests' residence with centrally-placed square cupola was attached to the boys' school on the south. A kitchen garden was planted west and south of these buildings. This structure and the wooden priests' residence next to it burned to the ground in January 1908. The mission was abandoned in 1918 after the Ursuline convent burned. |
