CHURCHES IN CITY'S SOUTHEAST
History of That Section of Washington Linked With Religious
Growth Through the Years-Ialf Century of ST. Marks.
Story of Hotel Which Was Center of Social Events.

Ettle stream then flowing by the foot
Of Capitol Fill. AS Mr.. Prout's offer
was conditioned on the building of
church within a year, all efforts
were bent in that direction.
But this only marks the beginning
Of religious worship in Southeast
Washington, and though the growth
was slow in the first half century,
this, most naturally, was entirely due
to the tardy increase in population
in this part of Washington. According
to the late Wilhelmus Bogart Bryan,
as early as 1901, ground was acquired
on the east side of South Capitol
street, between N and o streets, for
the purpose of erecting there a Catho-
lie cathedral, and subsequently the
foundations were laid, but the project
was finally suspended for the want
of funds.
Shortly after this, according to the
same authority, ST. Mary's Catholic
Church was built on the west side of
Half street, between o and P streets,
Sc. in 1906 and remained standing
at least until 1919. Both the ground
and the church were the gift of James
Barry, and the church was generally
known as Barry Chapel.
When the excavations for the foun-
dations for ST. Dominic's Catholic
Church on Sixth street, SW., were
in progress, quite awhile ago, a stone
tablet, formerly part Of Barry Chapel,
was unearthened, and when the walls
OF st. Dominics were being erected,
this tablet was placed in one of the
rear walls. 1t is evident that it had
either been carried to this site, after
the little chapel had been destroyed,
or that this was actually the site of
the earlier church. said to have been
on the west side Of Half street.
But Christ Church, Navy Yard

ton of Washington was generally
called-was the pioneer church of
this part of the city, and, indeed, it
was also the first congregation in the
Capital as planned by Maj. L'Enfant.

Cairo itself was converted into an

BY custom the sergeant visits us at

would have one awful time trying to

him for hours
Dick and the sergeant drive up at

has happened since roll call, and he
sees that we are both sober and pre-

Supported by these and other faith
full souls, Mr.. Steele, the young rector,
had the courage to purchase the lot
of land on Third and A streets Sc,
at an approximate cost of $1,000.
Under Mr.. Steele's long and faithful
administration. strong and sure foun-
dations were laid. The present church
building, which is one of the best and
most churchly houses of worship in
Washington. was begun in May, 1888
The convention of the Diocese Of
Maryland granted the petition of the
vestry to change the name from Me-
mortal Parish to st. Marks Parish. The
corner stone of the present church was
laid September IT, 1888, and, therefore,
the beginning of the present church
building has just passed its half-cen-
tury, though the nave was not COM
pleted and occupied for worship until
February %, 1889. In 1894 the nave
was extended. the chancel and present
parish house built, and the tower COM
pleted. The first service In the finished
church was held on AL Saints Day,
1894.
Mr.. Steele. before his death, was able
to see the completion of the church
building which he had begun, and to
worship in 1t for some years. He was
succeeded by Mr.. Graham. After his
short term of Office came the division
OF the Diocese Of Maryland. and Bishop
Satterlee. the first bishop of the Diocese
Of Washington, made St. Marks his
pro-cathedral, establishing in connec-
ton with it clergy house as a center
Of parish life.
Bishop Satterlee placed in charge Of
this work.the Rev. William L. De Vries,
Phi. D.: the Rev. Philip M. Rhinelander,
now Bishop of Pennsylvania, and the
Rev. Charles H. Hayes, afterward pro-
fessor of apologetics at the General
Seminary. Under their administration
the work at st. Marks grew rapidly
and became important as never before.
A large boy choir was established, and
modern parish administration methods
were inaugurated.
After some years Bishop Satterlee
chose the Ascension as his pro-
cathedral, DR. De Vries becoming rector
of st. Marks. For Is years DR.. De
