For almost a century (1912-2001), a church with a distinctive green dome could be seen high on a hill overlooking Cincinnati’s Mill Creek Valley. This distinctive edifice was part of a complex originally known as Our Lady of the Woods, later Convent of the Good Shepherd, and then Girls’ Town of America, that also included school buildings, industrial training facilities, and housing for nuns and resident girls.
The University photographs depict the lives and activities of the students, staff, and alumni of the University of Dayton and illustrate the functions of the University, including classroom instruction and laboratory research.
