⛪ The Sisters of St. Joseph
The Diocese of Brooklyn purchased the former Pratt mansion at 232 Clinton Ave. in 1936 and converted it into a convent for the Sister faculty at St. Joseph’s University. Called Founders Hall in honor of the institution’s founders – the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph – the surrounding gardens became the institution's campus, complete with a sunken archery range and a softball field that could be flooded in the winter months for ice skating.
