Nunnery

The Nunnery was a slanshack at 14 Cooper Square, in New York City , occupied by Dan Curran and then Bill Donaho. It was the meeting places of the Fanarchists and the site of Fanarcon.

The Nunnery was a typical NYC apartment with rather more inhabitants than just the human ones. John Berry stayed at the Nunnery to and from his John Berry Fan Fund trip to the Detention. He awoke one time to find a cockroach on him, freaked out (who can blame him?) and moved to a hotel room.

from Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement ca. 1960: Art Saha never lived there. Its first fanhabitant was Dan Curran, who followed the three girls who originally lived there and gave the place its name. When the last of these moved out, Donaho moved in, and this pair were the "proprietors" of the Nunnery thenceforth.
