Yes, great images Zane, so much depth and the stories are virtually jumping out at you.

Ok, couldnt resist to follow up on its story - St John's Orphanage, opened in 1905 bu the Sisters of Mercy and the Catholic Church. Acouple of extensions were added over the years, including a chapel, a hall, and a couple of wings.
It was closed in 1976, and is supposedly HAUNTED, and used by a local Ghost Tour Company.
It is listed as a Heritage conservation area, but is being considered to be made into residential units.
Some terrible stories out there of the way the nuns terrorized the children, but others with better memories.
