Hoyt Sherman Place House Blessing

On April 29, 1925 the poet, Arthur Guiterman, stood upon our stage. He was greatly impressed with this historic house. After his visit, he wrote a house blessing for us, which is framed and hangs in our hall vestibule.

"Bless the four corners of this house And be the lintel blest;
And bless the hearts and bless the board And bless each place of rest;

And bless the door that opens wide To stranger and to kin;
And bless each crystal window pane That lets the sunlight in;

And bless the roof tree over head And every sturdy wall,
The peace of man. The Peace of God. The peace of Love on All. “
