Land of Providence (Holyoke)

Toward the river one finds a few homes but most of the land is called the Land of Providence. It is owned by the Trustees of the Reservation. Read about the LAND at the link. Also there is a hiking trail on the land so download their MAP. Also La Finca is there. La Finca has a labyrinth like the Mont Marie Cemetery has but is smaller.

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.

LIST of girls at the Mount Saint Vincent School in 1911.

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.

Holyoke City Farm

The city farm of Holyoke was located where the Holy Family Road cuts into the Mont Marie area. It was owned by the city and used as food for the poor. Both Holy Family Institute at Brightside and Mont Saint Vincent Asylum used food from the farm. The location were the City Farmhouse was is now the Geriatric Authority of Holyoke. It is a home for old people. Across the street is the Devonshire Place Apartments. Farther along the road is the ballfields for the Donahue School.
