Jewels from Jane, January 27

Office of Gillick Bros.

Sisters of St. Joseph, City.

Reverend Mother:

We propose to refloor the connecting Corridor between Convent Building and New Chapel on first floor with Maple and Black Walnut flooring alternating and filled and varnished for the sum of Four Hundred and Thirty ($430.00) Dollars.

Respectfully yours,

Gillick Bros.

When the "new" chapel (present Holy Family Chapel) was finished in 1899 it was free-standing. A connection was later built from the 1865 building to this chapel. The outside porch was enclosed and staircases added so the sisters could get to the chapel without going outside. The above letter refers to the flooring in the connection outside the old Priest's dining room.
