I found this online. Could this be the place you are referring to?

Historic Mount Saint Mary Seminary
by Robert Cox Stump
As found in Achievement in Western Hills, 1932.

Price Hill possesses one of the most interesting and historic buildings
of Cincinnati, namely the former Mount Saint Mary Seminary of the West
-- the venerable Alma Mater of scores of prelates and priests of the
Catholic Church who were educated there for many different dioceses of
the country.

Archbishop John Baptist Purcell named this institution for his own Alma
Mater at Emmittsburg, Maryland, when he founded it on the brow of the
hill overlooking the Cincinnati basin on the east, with the sweep of
sister eminences and the gleaming curves of the Ohio River spread out in
panorama below. 1,800 ecclesiastical students have been educated for the
Catholic priesthood in the century of the Seminary's existence, and the
Price Hill buildings are now used by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd to
uplift and educate orphaned, dependent and under-privileged girls for
useful and happy lives.
