RECENT FINDINGS

STEEPLE BUILDING

STEEPLE
(The Church Of the Lord of
Sabaoth, 1753-1834)
Excerpts by HERBERT OLSEN,
Park Historian, v. 1. National
Historic Site.
Historical Preservation in the
National Park Service
AS an. introduction to the
subject of tonight's talk and
by way of explanation of the
delay involved in the restora-
ton of the Steeple Building, I
should like to say a few words
about the historical preserva-
ton policies Of the National
Park Service.
In developing and interpret
ing the historical and archeo-
logical areas of national signi-
ficance which it administers
for the American people, the
National Park Service en-
CLASHES sterilization and pre-
servation rather than r~estora-
ton or reconstruction. This is
in keeping with the precept:
Better to preserve than to re-
pair, better to repair than to
resore, better to restore than
TO reconstruct"
In the event that the state
Of decay Of a historical struc-
ture compels a degree Of re-
pair or restoration to preserve
it for posterity, Service policy
requires that extensive histo-
real, architectural, and other
kinds Of research be conduct
ed prior to the commencement
Of such work. Adherence to
this requirement is a funda-
, 1958-03-25

mental principle designed to
prevent faulty reparation or
restoration of a historic struc-
ture on the basis of inadequate
or erroneous data; for it is
self-evident that once an in
accurate reparation or restora-
ton has been made, it is diff
cult and costly, if not impossi-
bic, to correct the error.
Research on the Steeple
Building
Historical and architectural
research was therefore begun
on the Steeple Building in &C
cordance with these policies in
the fall of 1856.
To date, Mr.. Frederick c..
Guessing, Staff Architect of
the Caribbean Areas of the
Service, has conducted both
documentary research in the
United States National Arc
hives and architectural exam
nations of the structure. The
results of his studies have
been embodied in a prelimin-
acy architectural report which
forms the basis for much of
my talk to you this evening.
While Mr.. Crossings studies
have revealed sufficient and
detailed Information for the
restoration of the steeple,
many important questions re-
main unresolved concerning
the main body of the building.
Further research is therefore
necessary in documents un-
covered on my trip to the
! Danish National Archives last
summer and in the existing

me 10 90 INTO QeCalleQ eXplana-
ton, but all available evidence
indicates that the French
Church, the walls of which
were still standing in 1884,
was located much further to
the southwest of the present
Steeple Building. More con-
elusive perhaps is the fact that
the foundation and fabric of
the Steeple Building contains a
yellow brick of wholly Danish
origin, a brick commonly used
in the fort, post office, and
other buildings of Christian
sted which are indisputably Of
Danish construction.
Lutheran services in Chris
tiansted between 1884 and
1853 were actually first held in
Fort Christiansvaern and later
in an old warehouse. AS early
as 1744, however, the Luth-
eran communicates in Chris
tiansted were DESTROYS Of hav-
ing a church constructed for
their use in the vicinity of the
fort. But the Danish West
India and Guinea Company,
which owned and governed
the island at the time, insisted
that a warehouse (the present
post office) be built first. Com
p1etion of the construction of
warehouse in 1749 permitted
a start to be made on the con-
struction Of the church some

the Sidney Kiwanis club parti-
cipated in the dedication of the
peace marker at the Canadian

fifth such marker constructed

sons going to Canada by plane
to have a convenient means of
clearing the border by landing
Immediately adjacent to the Gus
toms offices of the two countries.

Reversal by the Fourth
Circuit Court of Appeals of
Judge w. Calvin Cnesnut's
ruling exempting community
pools from taxation was
termed "a stunning blow" by
Alfred Stoughton, chairman
of the Twinbrook Swimming
Pool Board.
The government appealed the
case and the appellate courts re-
versal kills, at least for the pres
ent, hopes of a $25 tax rebate
to all member families.
Although there are two posi-
bilities, appeal to the Supreme
Court or legislation changing the
wording of the tax law, Slough
ton said the chances look pretty
skinny"
He plans to contact the Ma
tional Pool Association to see
what support they might be will
ing to give in further battles for
the tax exemption.
The Maryland State Legislature
in their 1858 session passed bill
exempting community swimming
pools from state and local prop
erty taxes.
A similar bill was vetoed last
year as discriminating against
