The black and white photo (1^st photo) shows the three buildings erected under the leadership of Father F.-X.-J. Michaud. The Convent now the Musée de Kent, the church completed in 1898 was destroyed by fire on December 18, 1921 and rebuilt on what is now Irving Boulevard, as well as the rectory which became a house of retreat and has now been converted to an Inn.

Other photographs of the Convent under different aspects. It is to be noted that the belfry was dismantled and rebuilt. It is 35 feet higher than the building and contains the original Convent bell.
