The beautiful memorial to Mary
Baker Eddy. the Discoverer and Found
er of Christian Science, has been
turned over to The Christian Science
Board Of Directors by Ebert S. Bar
low Of New York City who held the
contract for its construction.
The memorial. which is at Mt. .Au-
burn cemetery, Cambridge, Mass, has
required over a year and a half to
complete. The fund for its construc-
ton. amounting to over $150,000, was
Arst announced by the directors in
June, 1911, and was some time ago
fully subscribed. These contributions
have been made as expressions of
sentiment by Christian Scientists
throughout the world.
The site on which the memorial is
located is not only one of great nat
ural beauty, but on account of it's
grade has rendered possible a more
picturesque and interesting treatment
architecturally than would be possi-
BILE on a perfect level lot. The plot,
which is approximately so feet square,
slopes gradually from the level of
the roadway to the lake with a drop
of about ten feet. The memorial con-
sists of a circular open colonnade of
eight columns. resting upon a stylo-
bate of three steps. surrounded on the
front by a circular platform slightly
above the natural grade, from which
1aatform double flight Of steps leads
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1917-07-20

to lower platform at the lakes edge.
The scheme has no prototype and ID
merely a screen of columns open to
the sky, inclosing a fower-grown cir
Gle.
The material used for the memorial
Is Bethel white granite, the inscrip-
ton in the frieze and upon the top Of
the pylons being of white bronze set
deep into the stone work. The detail,
which on account of the size Of the
reproduction is only indicated. 10 en-
tirely floral in form and free in treat
ment, the wild rose and the morning
glory being used as the main motives
1t Is interesting architecturally to
note that while it is extremely free in
treatment and not at all conventional,
it is generally very classic in feeling.
The extreme width Of the memorial is
about fifty feet. and the colonnads Is
eighteen feet in diameter. The COL
umns themselves are fifteen feet in
height and are similar in general
character to those in the Clepsydra
Of andronicus of Cyrrhus. The large
pylons were exhibited at the Ameri-
can Institute Of Architecture in New
York q short time ago and experts
pronounced them the finest pieces Of
carved granite ever executed.
The architect is Egerton Swartwout
Of New York City who designed the
new George Washington memorial,
the new Missouri state capitol and the
new Federal building In Denver.
