From 1933 until the early 1970s, the famous Kelleys Mansion was owned by the Dominican Sisters of Adrian, Michigan, serving first as a retirement/summer home for sisters, then later as a summer camp for girls. (Note cross on the mansion in photo.)More about the mansion:

Apparently, at some time in the early 1900s, the Fathers of the Blessed Sacrament also had a presence on the island, staying in a structure rebuilt from the John Stokes wine cellar (see link):http://dmc.ohiolink.edu/cgi/i/image/image-idx?cc=ley;view=entry;entryid=x-830h256;viewid=830H256.TIF
