   SINCLAIR   HOUSE  
     (WHERE MR. KELLY LIVED)    
         
   
SINCLAIR HOUSE WAS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE SCHOOL ESTABLISHMENT. MR. KELLY, AND HIS WIFE MINNIE LIVED THERE, AND WHEN MUM AND DAD CAME TO VISIT THEY STAYED THERE. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE TELLING ME MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY BEHIND THE KELLY'S AND THEIR ATTACHMENT TO THE PRESENTATION CONVENT AT KODAIKANAL.
SEE THE "NUNS' CEMETERY", FOR THEIR FINAL RESTING PLACE, AND TO "THE CHAPEL" FOR MORE ON THE KELLYS. SINCLAIR HOUSE WAS BEQUEATHED TO THE PRESENTATION SISTERS ON MR. KELLY'S PASSING.
 		    
  WALKING UP TO MR.KELLEY'S HOUSE (SINCLAIR HOUSE)

THE FRONT OF SINCLAIR HOUSE I RECALL MR. KELLY AS AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN, WHO WAS ABOUT 90 YRS. OF AGE, WHO WAS ALWAYS LED AROUND BY HIS INDIAN MAN SERVANT. BACK IN THE FIFTIES HE HAD A SON WHO THEN WAS ABOUT SEVENTY, AND WAS A PRIEST.
 		  
  KELLY'S FRONT DOOR. THE HOUSE TODAY IS A SCHOOL FOR PRESENTATION SISTERS UNDER TRAINING TO BE NUNS.
 

  SISTERS LORETTO AND NANO  P.B.V.M.

  
  MR. KELLY WAS INFAMOUS FOR HIS CRAB-APPLES, WHICH  TASTED HORRIBLE BUT JUST HAD TO BE STOLEN.
TO THE LEFT WAS THE MAIN HOUSE, AND THE RIGHT THE  COOK HOUSE. THESE DAYS THE COOKING IS DONE N THE MAIN HOUSE.
