2016-12-06 - Updated through online information from steve bartley. <br>According to notices in the Baltimore Sun Paper, The Deaconess Motherhouse was a newly built handsome stone building, in the neoclassical style commonly used in churches and educational institutions of the early 20th century. The Deaconess movement was started in the late 19th century within the Evangelical Lutheran church It might be thought of as a Lutheran order of Nuns who were trained as nurses and teacher, but the length of their duty was for 2-4 years. <br>In the late 20th century Coppin State College acquired the property, and it was torn down in the 1970s-80s, being replaced by a drab utilitarian brick building. A 1930s-40s booklet of the Deaconess Mother house, its mission and facilities can be found in the Enoch Pratt Library's Main branch, Baltimore. In the booklet it shows a photo of a small chapel, but the organ is not seen. -Database Manager
