Convent of Mercy, Catholic religious complex in Mobile, Alabama
The Convent of Mercy includes two main structures: a former convent building and a school building situated at 753 St. Francis Street in Mobile.
The Sisters of Mercy arrived in Mobile in 1884 under Bishop Dominic Manucy and established St. Joseph's School, which later became the Convent of Mercy Academy.
The religious complex served both as an educational institution and a base for Sisters of Mercy to conduct social work in the Mobile community.
The historic site, now transformed into St. Francis Place Condominiums, stands at the intersection of Springhill Avenue and St. Francis Street.
The structure represents one of only two remaining historic convent complexes in Mobile, featuring Early English Baroque Revival architectural elements.
