Mother Seton House, Historical residence in Baltimore, Maryland.
The Mother Seton House features red brick construction with a grand entrance hall containing a 26-foot-wide staircase and multiple bedrooms on the second floor.
Built in 1808, the Federal Period house served as the residence of Elizabeth Ann Seton, who established the first Catholic school and religious community for women in America.
The house maintains period-appropriate Federal decor and furnishings that reflect the lifestyle of early nineteenth-century French immigrants in Baltimore.
Located at 600 North Paca Street within St. Mary's Seminary grounds, the house operates as a museum offering guided tours of its restored interior.
The property functioned as a storage facility and potato storage area before local women initiated restoration efforts in the twentieth century.
