Scholasticate

Item

Description

the Scholasticate had been moved to Poughkeepsie, with the student Brothers living quarters in this wood frame house next to Gemstone. The house appears in early photos of Greystone, so it antedates the purchase by the Marist Brothers. The complex of buildings including this, Greystone, the Gatehouse, and Saint Peters was nicknamed Central and was used chiefly by the student brothers and working brothers. When student brothers lived there, the building was nicknamed Pullman, presumably because each bed and dresser was separated from the others by curtains, similar to those in use in Pullman railroad sleepers.
