One year later it was sold to George W. Childs, publisher of the Philadelphia Ledger. It was Mr. Child�s who was responsible for President Grant�s tenancy in this area. In 1894 the house was sold again to Adolph Lewison, a Copper Magnate, who used it as his summer home until his death in 1938. In 1941 the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace purchased the chalet which then became known as Stella Maris Retreat Center; "Star of the Sea."Original file name Stella Maris.jpg4100x2350Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
