St. Andrew-on-Hudson

The former St. Andrew-on-Hudson novitiate, now Roth Hall at the Culinary Institute of America

St. Andrew-on-Hudson was a Jesuit novitiate in Hyde Park, New York. Established in 1903, the novitiate was part of the New York Province of the Society of Jesus. The property was the former Stuyvesant estate, purchased for $23,500 in 1899. The Stuyvesant mansion was demolished and 750,000 of its bricks were used in the construction of the new seminary, which replaced a facility in Frederick, Maryland that had been established in 1833.[1]

The novitiate was moved to the Jesuit provincialate at Le Moyne College in Syracuse in 1968 and St. Andrew-on-Hudson was closed. The Syracuse provincialate was renamed St. Andrew Hall. The Hyde Park property was sold to the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in 1970.[1] The five-story brick novitiate became Roth Hall, the CIA's main teaching and administration facility. The novitiate's chapel became Farquharson Hall, the main student dining facility in Roth Hall.[2] Remnants of the Jesuit community include a small cemetery. Philosopher and priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin is among those interred there.[3][4]
