The old St. Theresa Academy, started in 1870, was torn down after 1952. It was a day-school for local kids and a boarding school for boys and girls, including an overflow of orphans from St. Vincent Orphanage in Louisville. The pictures below are believed to be boys from the orphanage in Louisville. Locally, they were referred to as "Boarder Boys."
Both Father Bob Ray (1949-1952) and myself (1950-1952) attended the old St. Theresa Academy. By our time, it was no longer a boarding school.
These old photos were recently discovered and sent to me by a man here in Louisville who said that he knew nothing about the people in them or where the photos came from!
