"located on College Street immediately south of San Miguel Chapel. Erected in 1878 by the Christian brothers of the Catholic Church, this adobe building was for many years the main structure of St. Michael's College for Boys. The property was recently sold to the State by the Christian Brothers, and may become a part of the Museum of New Mexico. When built, the dormitory was three stories high, l60 feet long, 30 feet wide,mth a tower, porticos, galleries, and a mansard roof, making it the "most stately building in Santa Fe" in 1878. A disastrous fire in 1926 completely destroyed the tower roof, and third floor. Now reduced to two stories, the graceful two-story rear portal of this flat-roofed building is one of the very few remaining in Santa Fe, and is typically "Territorial" in its simplicity."
