Description
English: Academy building on the grounds of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana. Drawn by Irma Le Fer de la Motte (Sister St. Francis Xavier), or by her sister Elvire Le Fer de la Motte (Sister Mary Joseph).

This sketch is part of a bound book collecting various sketches of Saint Mary's grounds, home of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, and of the academy that later became Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Drawings are dated between 1842 and 1889 and are mainly by Sister Maurice Schnell, with some collected from Sister St. Francis Xavier Lefer, Father John Corbe and various art students. Annotations have been added by Schnell and other sisters over the years, as this book served as an account of the buildings on the grounds.

Artwork has been edited to increase contrast for clarity.
