The Villa St. Rose is a former Catholic convent and girls' school located in north Portland, Oregon. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4][5]
History
The Villa St. Rose was established in 1902 by the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd, founded by sister Rose Virginia Pelletier, a native of France.[3] Pelletier received her holy habit and was officiated as Sister Mary of St. Euphasia in 1815 at the Convent of Refuge in Angers, France.[6]
The Villa served as a boarding school for troubled adolescent girls, and in its early years had a peak of 200 students.[7] By 1972, the Villa continued to serve in this manner, housing and rehabilitating girls from ages 12 to 21.[7]
As of 2017, the Villa has been converted into Rosemont Court, which contains housing for 100 low-income elders and 18 families.[8]
