Q-Trivia

Before you get started, you might spend 30 minutes learning all about the history of Quigley from from concept to North, to South, back to North, until 103 is no more.  https://en.wiki2.org/wiki/Archbishop_Quigley_Preparatory_Seminary

Did Quigley always look like it does today (besides the missing spire, of course)?

Answer:  NO.  The west wing of Quigley was added in 1926 to add science to the curriculum as well as additional classrooms.

What did Quigley look like before the West Wings was added.

Answer:  The new wing obscured a beautiful stained glass window and Gothic facade which can be seen in these photos:
