When that was too small they started building this particular building which was in the late 1860s. It was completed at the end of the civil war. The tabernacle here has been the home of the choir ever since. As we had voisitors come one of the things they first noticed is the organ. It is right there and has been accompanying since the organ was put in. It has been around even longer. This is older than the temple itself. The oldest thing inside is this organ case. These gold pipes next to me here have looked down on decades and decades of history. So a lot of history in this organ case and in the building. The soupd of the tabernacle organist is really unique.

Length. It was the only structure we know of that was here at the time when he bought the first plot of land in 1706. He expands that and eventually moves there and is known as the settlers house. When he dies in 1720, his son Charles Carroll of annapolis, papa, builds this house. Its built as a two to three story brick structure, two from the street, three from the waterfront. The waterfront is the more imposing side and its very guests often arrived via water. Charlie was sent away first to florida panhand fl flanders and then to england. Their faith and education were intertwined. It was incredibly important to papa to send his heir, his only child, to have a Roman Catholic education at the very best institutions, and that was in europe. So charlie was sent at the age of 11 and he does not return. So thats 1748 and he returns in 1765, i believe.

Bob iii decided that it did hurt the school and our Spiritual Ministry so he dropped the rule. I guess it was a few years later steven jones, the next president , apologized. I think in that apology he had the best rationale for it. In the end it wasnt about religious liberty. It was about i think im maybe paraphrasing but that we were too captive to our culture. I deally for christians and hopefully we take our faith very seriously and we want to transcenddeally for christians hopefully we take our faith very seriously and we want to transcend the world, especially what we consider to be evil in the world and we simply didnt transcend what we should have.

In 1528, vaa rez landed in the t tampa bay area. He was looking to gather the riches that the natives, the spaniards had found in what they called the new world. That they were hoping for gold, we might think, or other valuables. That they could take back to europe. A it happened in latin america. The aztec empire. They thought north america should have those resources as well. By the time you got to tallahassee, he thought better of the expedition. He thought he missed the simply ship and they decide d theb at that point to build some crude ships like rafts and try to find their way back to new spain. Which is present day mexico.
