Handcrafted Pen and Tour of historic Providence Academy
SPECIALTY ITEMLIVE AUCTION ITEM #8
Handcrafted Pen: Tina & Dale Merten
Guided Tour: Susanne Hartung, SP
In 1856, Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart and four sister companions arrived in the Washington Territory, at what is now Vancouver, WA. Several years later, in 1871, Lowell Mason Hidden opened the Hidden Brick Company in Vancouver, and his timing could not be better. Mother Joseph planned to build the largest brick building north of San Francisco. In 1873, a contract was signed with Hidden Brick to supply the hand-pressed bricks that the Providence Academy is built from. The three-story academy housed an orphanage, school and offices of the Sisters. Since then, the academy has gone through several improvements and renovations.
These renovations have provided our own Providence caregiver and pen turner artist with an original Hidden Brick that she has masterfully crafted into the beautiful tawny-caramel colored pen you see here today.
The winning bidder will also enjoy a tour of the historic Providence Academy in Vancouver, WA, and learn the rich history of the origin of this pen. Your tour will be guided by Providence’s own Sister Susanne Hartung. You’ll see the Hidden bricks that are still part of the original structure, and also visit the final resting place of Mother Joseph and many of her Sisters. The informative and unique pilgrimage tour is for four people.
