Many Uses
Originally this was the Schoharie County Alms House and Poor Farm. About 1949, it became A Franciscan Seminary. It was they who built the chapel wing. Sometime in the 70's 80's It became an Eldercare facility named Mountainside Manor. That closed in 2006 and the property sat abandoned until recently when it was purchased by the Russian Orthodox Church who are using it as a church regional HQ and an organic farm. They placed the "Onion Dome" on the chapel steeple replacing a spire.
