"Photograph of an oil painting of the two-room log cabin, which was the first American Mother House of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. Attic sleeping quarters were reached by an outside ladder, as shown. The cabin convent was on the site of the present Mother House, 6400 Minnesota Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., where the one hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the order in America will be observed in mid-April."
