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. Charl charlies education in europe was a classic education, latin and greek and finance and arithmetic and geometry and french and poetry a
Cable tv for about a week or two. It was pretty painful to live through that. And i think within a week or so dr. 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.

The spanish in 1756. Its a place where you and your family can stroll through the grounds, talk with knowledgeable interpreters about the world of spain and its effect on the appalachain over time. 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.
