Former convent near Cornwall demolished, ending decades-long preservation fight
A century-old former convent that was once protected by a heritage designation was demolished last week in South Stormont Township. The convent and former school in Saint Andrews West, about 90 kilometres southeast of Ottawa, was saved from the wrecking ball in the late 1970s, and again two years ago.
