Mary ' s :?eminary Chapel is an "A" roof structure, three bays wide, four bays deep and one and a half stories high. It is set on a high basement with round arched windows set into rectangular insets . Constructed from 1806 to 1808 by Maximilien Godefroy, it is a small brick chapel slightly l ess than ninety feet long and seventy feet wide . It would appear that the chapel incorporates the structure 'of an earlier building and that the Neo-Gothic design of the architect was forced to fit it. This suggestion has been advanced on some convincing structural evidence. In plan, the central space of the chapel is composed of the nave , which is 50 ' 7" long by 36 ' wide including the narrow side aisles which are 4 1 9\" wide each. The nave is lit by three window bays on either side. The VI moulded brick enframements of these windows have been added and the bricks m in the nave walls are 8 1/ 2" x 4 1/811 x 2.\". as compared to 8 3/8" x 434" x 2 3/8" on the front elevation. The side aisles are divided from the nave m by narrowly spaced Neo-Gothic columns 5 ' 8" on center. The nine bays and eight columns , arranged on this module, allow the windows to be centered z on every third bay. VI The sanctuary with a semi-circular apse is s eparated from the nave by -t three steps. The sanctuary floor is 18" higher than .that of the nave . ::::0 Immediately at the top step, the change in module between the sanctuary c and the nave is marked by a pair of engaged columns on either side, 3' 7" n on center, with solid wa ll between them. The engaged columns of the sanctuary are t:Wo bays deep, 9' on center and then terminated by the semi­ -t circul ar apse which has a radius of 12 ' 5". Flanking the sanctuary are the north and south transept. They are both simple rectangular spaces 0 19 1 6" (one bay) wide and 29' (three bays) long. z VI The first three bays of the nave carry the balcony over the west entrance. The width of the nave between the side aisles is the same width as the sanctuary. Therefore, the shallow vaulted ceiling of plaster on wood lathe is carried uninterrupted on a continuous decorative wooden cornice from one end of the chapel to the other. The ceil ing has delicate false ribs in imitation of cross vaulting above the nave and the sanctuary. The change in modu le between nave and sanctuary is handled by the inser­ tion of a decorative band 3 1 7" wide where the two spaces meet above the paired engaged columns. The wooden nave columns and those of the sanctuary are of nearl y identical design. The shafts of those in the nave are 1 1 3 3/4" in diameter and are quatrefoil in plan. They have acanthus l eaf capitals somewhat c l assical in appearance. Below t he c apitals at t he top of the shafts are eight evenly spaced i~verted acorns. The balcony railing is made up of panel s of pierced Neo - Gothic decorative elements above a continuous c l assical Greek-bay band . From the exterior, the chapel has an elaborate Neo- Gothic false front on the west elevation virtually stuck onto the nave. The side elevation walls have brick buttresses between the three window bays, and basement (continued) s-3 form 10-3000 UN IT ED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR STATE (July 1969) NA Tl ON AL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Baltimore City IHVEHTORY - NOMINATION FORM .( NATIO~!H.

Mary ' s Seminary Chapel windows with flat jack arches underneath the first two nave window bays . These basement windows light the crypt. The main body of the church has a gable roof. The portion of the roof over the side aisles has a shallower pitch t han the central section. Later additions obscure the eastern e levation of the chapel. The west front of the church appears to have been built across the gable end of an earlier building. It has a three-bay cent~al section slightly wider than the nave and side aisles behind it. This section has a central entrance doorway reached by a flight of nine stone steps . On either side of the double doors are engaged columns in molded brick carrying a Gothic arch with a keystone. The transom is not gl~zed but is a wooden panel with a trefoil design. On either side of the front entrance, in positions shown occupied by windows in the Godefroy drawings, are two niches with Gothic arches . They are intended for sculpture. The cornice line of the chapel is carried around the west elevation and expressed by a more elaborate Neo-Gothic stucco cornice than that on the rest of the building. Above this cornice is a high rectangular brick parapet with a central circular window flanked by blind lancet arcades. This parapet masks the gable end of the chapel roof. To stabilize the para­ pet, brick flying buttresses from the side walls of the nave support it from the back. On either side of the main block of the west front are two l ow spur elements, nearl y square in plan.

The Maryland House and Garden Pilgrimage as a Preservation Force in Maryland (1930-1994) Abstract The Maryland House and Garden Pilgrimage (MHGP) is an organization which stages a series of house tours across Maryland during the first ewf weeks of May each year. While the MHGP's by-laws define the organization as a fund raiser for preservation projects, the organization has a much broader impact on Maryland's preservation community. After a discussion of the history of architectural tourism and of the MHGP, this thesis examines the impact of the MHGP, identifies trends in the annual tours, and speculates about the possible causes and solutions to these problems. Quantitative data gleaned from the records of the MHGP has been used to support the analyses.

    G Historic and Cultural Resources Appendix G – Historic and Cultural Resources G.1 Inventory of Historic Resources This appendix provides an inventory of historical resources identified and evaluated as part of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Washington, D.C. Optimization of Airspace Procedures in the Metroplex (DC OAPM) project. G.1.1 Inventory The inventory of historic resources includes all properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) located within the General Study Area. Spatial data for these properties was downloaded from the National Park Service website (nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natreg/docs/Download.htm) in August 2012. This database was augmented in February 2013 with additional data reflecting newly listed properties on the National Register. G.1.2 Consultation On December 13, 2012, early notification letters announcing the preparation of an EA for the DC OAPM project and requesting additional information relevant to the project were distributed to relevant public officials, including the State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) for the states located within the General Study Area and 17 Native American tribes. Responses were received from the following agencies: Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, Bureau of Historic Preservation Maryland Historical Trust West Virginia Division of Culture and History Virginia Department of Historic Resources The response letters are included in Appendix A. G.1.3 Noise Exposure at Historic Sites Table G-1 identifies the 2,690 historic resources identified within the General Study Area and for which noise was modeled. The inventory includes the name, address, and geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of each historic resource, and presents the calculated noise exposure values under 2011 existing conditions and Proposed Action and No Action conditions for 2013 and 2018.

  • God's Blessed Time
    CHAPTER 7 hg GOD’S BLESSED TIME The zeal which impressed her new Catholic friends was to cause a serious break in Mrs. Seton’s relations with her older non-Catholic connections in the summer of 1806. It has been said that Elizabeth Seton was very fortunate in the number of men of exceptional virtue who crossed her path. If in proportionate degrees these men benefited from her friendship, how much more impressive is the evidence of Mrs. Seton’s influence on women. Her encouragement to Rebecca Seton has already been noted. After her conversion, Mrs. Seton had an even greater influence on Cecilia Seton, Rebecca’s youngest sister and Elizabeth’s sister-in-law. Cecilia, together with her sister Harriet, and her cousin, Eliza Farquhar, had been tremendously aroused by the fervor of Elizabeth’s formal inquiry on the Catholic faith. While Harriet, and “Zide’s”a first enthusiasm cooled under parental frowns, Cecilia’s only grew stronger. The girl became obstinate at James Seton’s house where she lived, and many notes passed between her and the “sis” she adored. Elizabeth advised patience and told Cecilia to let the Lord be her first confidant in regard to the “secret” they shared. She must yield to those who had authority over her. “Of course you are a prisoner,” she wrote, “but it is a Prisoner of the Lord.”1 As the girl’s yearning to become a Catholic increased, her health grew worse. When Elizabeth began to fear that Cecilia might die outside the Church, she wrote to Father Cheverus in Boston, asking his advice.

    BALTIMORE CATHOLIC HISTORIC TRAIL INTRODUCTION The Ark and the Dove landed at St. Clements Island in 1634 bringing Catholic settlers to Maryland from England. And, as with many pilgrims and immigrants who came to the new world, they were hoping for a new life of religious freedom. However, the trouble for them was just beginning when, in 1688, the crown of England changed and William III, a Protestant, became king. After that, Protestants here in Maryland took over the government and enacted legislation forbidding Catholics from worshiping in public, holding public office and educating their children. The persecution of Catholics became so heinous in what was originally a Catholic colony that Catholics fled the region for more favorable treatment. When the persecution abated, many felt that religious freedoms needed to be protected. It is for this reason that the religious freedoms protection was added to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States. This signifies the importance of the experience of the Catholic faithful to our American history. As you walk this Trail and answer the questions in this booklet, think of those faithful men, women and children who came before us, what they must have gone through and how life was so different for them at that time. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are several people whom I would like to thank for making this project become a reality. The Baltimore Catholic Historic Trail was originally conceived in 2000 as a Wood Badge ticket item. Jack Simons, a dedicated Scouter and mentor, provided encouragement for me to take the Course for the Wood Badge in the first place and served as my Ticket Counselor.
