Quick question (or two)

I'm thinking the only time we actually saw the orphanage was in Beneath the Surface - but I am correct in thinking that it was the actual orphanage versus just the place they were holding the reunion? Because the more I think about it, the more it seemed pretty "upscale" for an orphanage - more along the lines of a convent or monastery (based on a huge convent not far from me). Not all that major a question, I'm just trying to picture the place Face would've grown up. (It could influence things in the story a bit, admittedly.)
