Mount St. Joseph
Peterborough, Canada
Mount St. Joseph, now known as The Mount Community Centre, is a former convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peterborough, located at 1545 Monaghan Road in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. The building, originally a farmhouse built in 1869, was the Sisters' motherhouse from 1895 until 2008. In 2009, the Mount was sold to a private developer and sat empty until 2013 when it was purchased by the Peterborough Poverty Reduction Network and converted into The Mount Community Centre, a non-religious, non-profit corporation with charitable status, and affordable housing units. The building is designated by the City of Peterborough under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by By-Law 09-158 as being of cultural heritage value or interest.
