    Historic Building in Convent, LA, 1830 - Vintage Photo

    $29.95

    This vintage photo captures a historic structure in Convent, Louisiana, dating back to 1830. Originally built as a religious facility, the building served its purpose until 1928 when it was donated by wealthy sugar planter Valcour Aime to the Marist Fathers for use as a college for young men. The image beautifully showcases the architectural elements like the columns, balconies, and porticoes, all draped in the iconic Spanish moss of the region.

    Part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, this photograph not only highlights the intricate design of Southern structures but also tells a story of community and education in St. James Parish.

    KNOWOL historical art prints connect the rich stories and imagery of our past. A statement in any room, each reproduction is printed on museum-quality paper using a restored vintage image.
