TO START IN SPRING
Architects Map Structure to
Harmonic With All
of Campus.

Financed by an anonymous donation
of approximately 100000 new chapel,
of Italian Renaissance architecture and
designed with a capacity to seat 300
persons, is proposed soon to take its
place beside the imposing Georgetown
Preparatory School Administration
Building on the Rockville pike, Garrett
Park, Md.
Anticipating settlement Of the con-
tract award within a few weeks, work
on the new structure is expected to be
started during the Spring months. Inc
chapel will occupy the location OF the
students tennis courts, just north OF
the present school building, with It's
facade toward the boulevard.
Structure HarmonizeS.
Planned by the Boston ecclesiastical
architects, MaginniS & Walsh, the new
unit has been designed with particular
regard for its harmonious relation with
the present structure. The italian
Renaissance style was restorted to in
stead Of the Colonial type of the exist
ing building as a design which brings
both buildings into perfect accord.
The building is substantially SYM
metrical, but with enough of variety of
mass to justify the introduction OF a
slender campanile, designed to incor-
porate chimes. The facade of the build
ing has two orders superimpoSed, the
lower corresponding in scale to that i'm
piled IN the portico Of the school.
ClerestOry Provided.
BY virtue of the interior plan, which
Is modifiedly Bascilican, clerestory Is
provided which is designed to give pic
turesque variety to the interior and ex-
terror effect. Delicately carved en-
franement, crowned by Segmental pedi-
ment of sculpture, will feature the re-
cessed main doorway, flanked by col
umns. Above this will be tablet Dor
dered by pilasters in slight relief and
designed for a Latin inscription. The
nave is to be terminated by a gable in
the center of which is placed a large
circular medallion of sculpture. The
plaster treatment is carried into the
aisle walls with delicate projections.
The exterior construction of the
chapel will be of brick corresponding to
that used In the present school build
ings with trimmings of white marble.
The interior of the new structure will
be divided longitudinally into six bays.
Two large columns will be so placed as
to form side ambulatories, in which
there will be no sittings. On the axis
