Rosalie Hall, a.k.a. Misericordia Maternity Home, was listed in a 1977 directory at 4150 Bronx Blvd., Bronx NY 10466. It was formerly St. Mary's Home on East 86th St. in Manhattan, and I expect it to be included in the New York State Census of 1915, and others.

In 1977, Mount Loretto in Staten Island (N.Y.C.) was the locale of the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin, 6581 Hylan Blvd, Staten Island NY 10309.

Sparkill, NY is in Rockland County. A 1979 source (probably "The Official Catholic Directory") lists an institution there as the Dominican Convent of Our Lady of the Rosary, Route 340, Sparkill NY 10976. Formerly called St. Agnes' Convent.

I have been careful in the spelling of the names of the institutions in case you wish to run Google searches thereon.
