Torresdale, Pa. [graphic] Boston: Geo. H. Walker & Co., [ca. 1885] 1 print: lithograph, tinted with one stone; 52 x 65 cm. (20.5 x 26 in.) View of the girls boarding school and convent administered by the Society of Sacred Heart Sisters that was built 1849-1850 after the designs of Frank Wills at 4800 Grant Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia. The stone building contains several wings and a chapel. Crosses adorn the roofs. Girls play on the grounds landscaped with trees. Also shows a woman and child walking up the path to the school entrance and a man with a horse-drawn wagon near the chapel. A border, arched at the top with simple art details, frames the image. The society purchased the Torresdale estate of F. Cowperthwait in 1847 and operated a school on the property until 1969. Walker & Co., the Boston lithography firm established in 1879, sought the patronage of Roman Catholic clergy in the early 1880s.
