Thanks to all for the interesting comments. Little did I know that I would need information on a convent for my grandmother. Her name was Ann Condon Penrod. She was born 5 Sept 1891. I was told she entered the convent probably about 1908. (She was from Columbus, OH) She left due to illness and met my grandfather. Stories said she took care of my grandmother who was ill and another story was she took care of the children. There would have only been one child, my uncle, John Jr. My Aunt was married and my mother out of H.S. Ann married my grandpa and was the only grandma I knew. She married my grandpa abt 1930 +. I am hoping to find information when she was in the convent, not sure which and more information on Grandma Ann Condon Penrod. email mbgeneal@bellsouth.net Thanks to all! I intend to take all of your information to Columbus in Sept. Will let you know if I find anything. Please email me what you are looking for and I will be glad to search. Marsha

My grandmother was at the convent according to the 1910 US census.
Maybe when you go, they will tell you if the records still exist?
And if so, would they let us look for information?
Rosa Maria Simonelli, 1910
Thank you very much!

The buildings did sit at the corner of West Broad and Sandusky Streets. It was built in 1865-66 and torn down in 1965. The site is presently occupied by the closed Graham Ford dealership, 707 West Broad Street. A few of the items form the chapel are at the Jubilee Museum, just east of 315. The records are probably out of state at the motherhouse of the Good Shepherd Sisters.

To see a few items from Good Shepherd, take the 11:00 tour open every Saturday at the Jubilee Museum. 57 South Grubb Street, Columbus. You can see the site of the old convent from the museum.
