Description
Timothy Murphy, one of Marin County's original land grantees, left a portion of his land to Archbishop Alemany to be used as a school. The property was developed into St. Vincent's School. The school, originally operated by the Sisters of Charity as a girl's seminary, did not flourish because of its isolated location and lack of pupils. Late in 1855, Father Maurice and fourteen boys from the Market Street Orphanage in San Francisco took up residence at St. Vincent's. By the end of that year, there were 28 orphans and a free school for 40 pupils at St. Vincent's, seen here in 1905. The school, church and surrounding buildings were rebuilt in 1924 and are still in operation today in San Rafael, California.
