Hi, probably i’m being slightly off topic here, but i was browsing your website and it’s stimulating. I’m writing a blog and trying to create it look neat, however everytime I touch it I mess one thing up. Did you design the blog yourself?

We have a 3 foot copper light that hung just inside the Hubert Rutland Building. My husband acquired it about 40 years ago from a friend of the Rutland family. We are interested in selling it, but, mainly to find out the history of it. Can’t find anything on the internet except your site. Thanking you in advance, Karen

My personal sincere apologies for not expressing appreciation to you earlier.

Thanks for your publication. I would also like to opinion that the first thing you will need to do is determine if you really need credit repair. To do that you have got to get your hands on a copy of your credit report. That should really not be difficult, since government necessitates that you are allowed to receive one cost-free copy of your real credit report per year. You just have to request that from the right folks. You can either look at website owned by the Federal Trade Commission or even contact one of the main credit agencies right away.

Comment on Little St. Mary’s? Not Really… by Irma Wehle

Two wonderful buildings that apart or together command admiration and affection. Thank you for featuring them.

Perhaps other conclusions than yours or the myth’s could be reached. The time line you cite could hold more options.

The architectural plans for the church may have been completed long before those for the comfort station, but it may have taken much longer to break ground for the church. By 1927 Florida was hurtling into a depression. Money to support the church construction may have been delayed. Mr. Taylor had designed buildings locally for the diocese prior to the comfort station. (“In 1924 he had designed a rectory for St. Mary Our Lady of Grace on Third Avenue South and later St. Paul’s School and Church.”, http://www.stmaryolg.org/history.html.) I would guess that to raise money to build the SMOLG church his plans would have been completed far in advance of groundbreaking. Completing the much larger church would have a longer building timeline (do we know when ground was broken?). Perhaps using that corner of the former Williams property for the new church had been long desired (General Williams having been a leader in the early St. Petersburg Catholic community) but required long negotiations with owners of that former Williams property. One way of interpreting the information is that the City beat the Church in enlisting Mr. Taylor’s services at a time when he was wanting to place the first brick, octagonal, Romanesque building in St. Petersburg — the “honor” went to his first client ready to break ground.

And then, the Diocese had built also in the 1920s in red brick: St Joseph’s and St. Paul’s. Perhaps they were not about to change building materials because Mr. Taylor had also built a comfort station in red brick.

Another teaser is on the church’s webpage: “After seeing San Stefano Rotundo in Rome, Father O’Riordan envisioned building a round church in which the altar would be the central spiritual and architectural focus. He studied this idea with architect Henry Taylor but it was decided to build St. Mary’s in an octagonal shape.”

Had Mr. Taylor placed in St. Petersburg a third brick, octagonal, Romanesque building (or tower), where would the myth and speculation be?
