On the campus of Mt Saint Mary’s College sits an amazing house that has been a part of our cities history since the late 1800s. Oil pioneer Edward Doheny moved into the Doheny mansion in 1901. The mansion has some amazing features including the Pompeian Room complete with glass dome by Louis Tiffany, pillars of Siena marble and a bronzed gold-leaf frieze.

I remember Sister Eileen Marie. She taught history to me in one of the living rooms in the big houses. We had classrooms in bedrooms and living rooms. At that time in 1965 thru 1967 it was an all girls school. Wonderful memories😇

I graduated from this campus in 1967 With Cardinal Mc Intyre presiding over the ceremony. Four freshman including me snuck into the Doheny Mansion at midnight. It was a convent at that time. The Mansion was of course off limits. I have many wonderful memories of this beautiful campus and of the Sisters of St Joseph of Carondelet.

I've been lucky to work in this mansions for the last 24 years... I got to know most of the CSJ sisters and Sr. Eileen Marie was one of them. Now is Mount St. Mary's University

A lot of times I'll find a Huell that at first appears to be about a subject I have no interest in turns out to be very interesting. Such as this one. Huell brings out the human-interest angle very well and you end up wanting to find out more about the place or subject. That was his knack.

Teachers do not ‘give’ A’s; students either earn an A, or they do not.
