Behind the Catholic Basilica in Vincennes, Indiana is a small red brick building. The information plaque on the wall describes Saint Gabriel’s college that was started by the Eudist Fathers in 1837.

Information plaque
Original stone wall visible
The Eudist Fathers were founded in the 1643 in France. and the group is still active today promoting missionary work and education. This old college was one of several historic places we found during our first real RV trip since February since we have been isolated due to that deadly virus. It is always fun to stand in front of an old historic structure and imagine what it was like back when it was built.
I miss England when I see historic buildings.

And the age of the English buildings make those old ones in the U.S. look like they were constructed last year! Thanks for the visit, and hope you and hubby are doing well.

Cool old building. Looks like there as a passage in the wall.

More research on this building is on my horizon. That block of brick on the stone wall is intriguing!

That original wall is really awesome!! So great that they took the time to restore it, and then to leave that little bit of history displayed.
