The CENTRAL COURTYARD or cloister is planted with trees and grass, while in its center is an antique ornament from Italy (gift of Countess Estelle Doheny) - a carved well-head encircled by a series of Ionic shafts, the whole of white marble. On the four sides of this area are successions of twin columns terminating with carved capitals from which spring ogival arches.
Along the eastern edge of the cloister are classrooms. The side to the south is formed by the seminary Chapel and entrance to the refectory or dining hall. To the west are administrative offices and the Salon, a meeting room. On the northern side is a large meeting room called the Prayer Hall as well as the rector’s office.Two dormitory wings named for Saint Mary and St. Joseph run at right angles from each end of the Prayer Hall toward the north. A third dormitory named for St. Thomas Aquinas and a faculty corridor complete the living space for the students and resident faculty.
