Architectural Connections at Saint Elizabeth, Convent Station, NJ: Defining the Legacy of Patrick Charles Keely

Abstract

The talk shared here is an update of a short presentation made on March 21, 2014 in New York at the 24th Annual Monuments Conservancy Symposium on Public Monuments, “Defining the Legacy of Patrick Charles Keely, Part II,” sponsored by art and architecture historian Donald Martin Reynolds. While the author’s research did not reveal an expected in-depth look into Keely, the College of St. Elizabeth did provide a broad perspective into Roman Catholic architecture of the latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. NJS is delighted to share this revised talk here in a nod to the location of the NJ Historical Commission's November 2016 New Jersey Forum.
