The most outstanding religious land
mark in the vicinity of Swampoodle is
St Aloysius Church, dedicated in
1859, at time when there were few
houses nearby. Shortly after this the
Civil War came on, and in order to
provide hospitals for the sick and in
jured many Of the churches of the city
were taken over for this purpose.
Naturally, the time soon came when
this church could not longer be made
an exception. and so. on September 9,
1862, when the manned and injured
began to arrive from the Bull Run
battlefield and the hospital situation
in Washington was actually critical,
the dreaded demand for the church
was made. Rev. Bernard F. Wiget.
S. j., was then in charge of St Aloy-
sius' Church. as we'll as GonzaRa COL
lege, and he proved more than equal
to the occasion, for he offered to build
a hospital for the Government if the
beautiful church was spared. and this
was agreed to and the terms carried
out to the letter.
One of the most important events to
take place in this noble edifice was the
marriage of Minnie Ewing Sherman,
daughter of Gen. William T. Sherman,
to Lieut.. Thomas w. Fitch, U. S. N,
at time when Gen. Sherman was re.
siding at 205-7 I street NV, the house
having previously been occupied by
Gen. U. S. Grant.
