Digital scan of a 6 5/8" h x 8 1/2" w black and white aerial photo of Church Point, St. Mary's Female Seminary, Brome's Wharf, and the reconstructed Maryland State House. The ground around the State House is raw and there are bleachers in the field just beyond it. This photo was either taken right before or right after the Tercentenary celebration. The seminary had its own pier just to the left of Brome's Wharf. Trinity Church is just barely visible in the trees, with the headstones and Calvert Monument scattered around the graveyard. "18 B" is in dark ink in the lower left corner of the image. ************************************ Text on separate sheet: "Another view of St. Mary's City once the Capitol of Maryland." The photograph was possibly taken by Aloysius King, editor of the St. Mary's Beacon. The original print is owned by Historic St. Mary's City, which loaned it to the St. Mary's County Historical Society for scanning.Collection
