The six city lots were bought for $2,300 in the 1880's by five Sisters of St. Joseph's Hospitaliers from Montreal (with help from Fr. Wagner of St. Alphonses' who had the original idea). They combined their own money with donations begged from Windsorites. They planned to build a hospital, plus an orphanage and school for the children of Negro migrants from the American south (excluded from attending Windsor's public schools). The building was completed and dedicated in 1890. The orphanage and school closed by 1895.
