Good Counsel Complex, a historic district in White Plains, Westchester County, New York, comprises ten contributing buildings constructed between 1856 and 1923. Originally established as the Convent of the Sisters of the Divine Compassion, the complex features regionally significant examples of Romanesque Revival and Mediterranean Revival architecture, including a chapel (1897), convent with 1908 and 1923 additions, House of Nazareth (1891), cooking school and infirmary (1901–1902), and ancillary structures such as a heating plant, carriage house, and residential cottages. The complex housed the Academy of Our Lady of Good Counsel until its closure in 2015, though portions were sold to Pace University School of Law in 1975. The Sisters of the Divine Compassion continue to maintain a presence on the grounds. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
