Mount Saint Vincent Girls’ Home
From June 1880, this home housed not only orphan girls but also elderly men and the nuns. So it was an orphanage, an old age home, and a convent all in one. The Sisters of Providence ran the home. It was the first building ever that the Sisters of Providence used in the Ingleside area. They had the new house built in 1881. It was dedicated February 22 of 1881. At first it had 25 boys, 30 girls, and 20 adults. It was also a novitiate for young nuns. Mother Mary of the Providence designed the building. Its formal name at first was the Mount Saint Vincent Hospital and Diocesan Orphanage. It remained mostly an orphanage for decades until 1954 when all orphans were moved to the new buildings at the Sisters of Providence Child Care Center.

From 1954 to 1968 the Mount Saint Vincent area was a home for old people. Then at that location in 1972 was built the building that is there now – the Mount Saint Vincent Care Center. It is a rehab center and a rest home.
