Notes: 7/21/2017: Further investigation indicates that the wood columns (i.e., pilasters) were mistakenly identified as originating from the Orphan House Chapel, when they in actuality originated from the Gabriel Manigault House. (The wood pilasters are now on loan to ACBA.) It is presumed that the marble column fragments were disposed of during the warehouse liquidation in 2017.
