“We’ve always known The Woods to be a special place which has touched and changed many lives for generations. Now, the nation has recognized its significance and we are incredibly proud,” said 多蒂L. 国王,Ph值.D.SMWC的主席.
The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods Historic District is approximately 67 acres of mostly-wooded site. It is deemed significant in two criteria: its association with events and people who have
对美国教育的广泛模式做出了重要贡献.S. 历史, 尤其是在教育和宗教方面, and the distinct characteristics and high artistic values of architecture at Saint
Mary-of-the-Woods.
“When people visit Saint Mary-of-the-Woods for the first time, 他们总是被它的美丽与宁静所折服. It is a place made sacred not only by the beauty of the 建筑 and the environment but by the people who have walked here, 在这里分享的灵性, by the work of education and now health care that takes place here,Dawn Tomaszewski说, SP, ’74, 普罗维登斯修女会的总会长.
普罗维登斯修女会，由圣. 西奥多·葛林母亲——敬爱的美国第八任总统.S. saint — emigrated from France in 1840 to form a religious order in Indiana for the purpose of establishing a school, which eventually became the oldest Catholic women’s college in the state.
1856年圣母西奥多去世, she had directed the opening of 11 schools in nine Indiana towns. 圣玛丽森林的开创性工作, the Indiana wilderness where this order and higher learning institution were established, became an important contributor to the evolution of women’s education and Catholic higher education in the country.
The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods Historic District features a collection of high-styled 建筑 constructed between the 1880s and the 1960s; many were designed by architectural firm, 波伦和印第安纳波利斯之子. The 建筑 are impressive examples of the Classical Revival, Renaissance and
美术风格.
The National Register nomination form submitted by SMWC lists a total of 66 建筑, 网站, structures and objects contributing to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods’ historic significance. 其中包括盖林堂等建筑, 乐费尔大厅, 霍尔曼大厅和鲁尼图书馆, 均为SMWC所有, as well as impressive religious 建筑 owned by the Sisters of Providence such as the Church of the Immaculate Conception, 圣堂, Sisters of Providence Motherhouse/Providence Hall and the St. 安妮·谢尔教堂.
“What an inheritance we have received from the Sisters of Providence who went before us, whose vision and deep appreciation for the beautiful helped shape the architectural expressions found both in the 圣玛丽森林学院 建筑 and in those places where the Sisters of Providence live and work,Tomaszewski说. “I think this designation as a Historic District honors their legacy, a legacy that we Sisters of Providence today truly desire to share with others. We certainly hope this designation on the National Register of Historic Places will lead more people to discover this treasure we call Saint Mary-of-the-Woods.”
SMWC started pursuing the nomination in January 2015 in conjunction with the 2016 Indiana Bicentennial. 学院与Tommy Kleckner合作, 印第安纳州地标西部地区办公室主任, 在整个过程中. Both SMWC and the Sisters of Providence were recipients of the Indiana Landmarks Partners in Preservation grant, which covered part of the technical consultation fee for the nomination.

We’re excited about the possibilities the new designation creates to raise awareness of the historic impact and beauty of our campus and especially to share this beauty with future generations of students,金补充道。.
