[...Church] was begun in 1842 by Bishop de Hailandiere, but not finished until 1844, (some misfortune [and] mismanagement of the brickmakers caused the delay.) (There are three ^4 in this room row, Aug. 5, 1887, [who] were the very first confirmed in it, in 1844 by Bishop de. H., viz Sr Isidore, Sr Eugenia who [were] village lasses or Belles, and Sr Anastasie who was postulant.) The church was built after [the] Pantheon in Rome, lit up by rows of light from above. It had no windows, only three openings shaped [like] half moons.

Notes

This sketch is part of a bound book collecting various sketches of Saint Mary's grounds, home of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, and of the academy that later became Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Drawings are dated between 1842 and 1889 and are mainly by Sister Maurice Schnell, with some collected from Sister St. Francis Xavier Lefer, Father John Corbe and various art students. Annotations have been added by Schnell and other sisters over the years, as this book served as an account of the buildings on the grounds.

Artwork has been edited to increase contrast for clarity.
