Notes on Source Materials
'fhis article is based mainly on materials in the
archives of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, in the
Columbiana collections, and in the general collec¬
tions in Butler Library. There is a chapter on Dr.
Howland in Lucius A. Edelblute, The History of
the Chinch of the Holy Apostles (Protestant
Episcopal) 1844-1944 (New York: published by
the author, 1949); a copy is in the library of Union
Theological Seminary. On the history of the Church
of the Heavenly Rest, see Frederick C. Grant, Wliat's
in a Name? The Church of the Heavenly Rest
in New York City [published Iry the church, 1967];
see also King's Handbook of New York Cit)', 2nd
ed. (Boston, Mass., 1893; reprint. New York, 1972),
351-52. On the architecture and decoration of the
chiiirh, sec Rlioda M. Trebcnie-Thomas, "The Use of
Neo-Gothic and. Art Deco in the Church of the
Heaxjenly Rest, Manhattan" (master's thesis.
Union Theolo^cal Seminary, 1980). There are
numerous articles about the church building
in newspapers and periodicals; see especially:
Architectural Forum, November 1928, and
March 1929; The Witness: A National Paper
of the Episcopal Church, 11 April 1929;
Architecture, Jantiary 1936. On the church and
on Dr. Shipman and Dr. Darlington, I have
consulted material from various newspapers,
including the New York Times, the New York
Herald-Tribune, and others. On Dr Shipman, see
also a recent article by Michael Seggie, "The House of
Dark Shadows, " Rhode Island Trooper (publica¬
tion of the Rhode Island Troopers Association,
Cranston, R. L), vol. 6, no. 2 (fcdl 1994): 75-79.
 

This article profiles Skipman's in-laws, Mr. and
Mrs. Edson Bradley, who built a fifty-seven-room
house in Newport, "Seaview Terrace," where the
Shipmans spent the summers. In Tuxedo Park, New
York, the Bradleys also had a house, named
"Garnwill," where the Shipmans often stayed. On
Bishop Shipman, see also James Elliott Lindsley,
This Planted Vine: A Narrative History of the
Diocese of New York (Neio York: Harper & Row,
1984). For advice in this research I should like espe¬
cially lo thank Henry Darlington, Jr. (A.B., 1949),
and Holke Haswell, librarian of the Columbiana
Collection.

The caption for the photograph of the Seal of
Columbia University in the Shipm/in Memmial
