"The Cenacle": originally built as a private estate by railroad
executive Underwood, later used as a convent by the Cenacle (a religious order), and then abandoned in the
early 1950's when this picture was taken from the top of a tall silver
maple in the rear yard of 7723 Stickney Avenue, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin,
looking northeast toward the corner of 76th and North Avenue.
In the 1960's, the property became the site of the Wauwatosa City Hall
and library. This picture is 250 KB compressed, 1.2 MB uncompressed,
