Location: 600 North Paca Street, Baltimore, Maryland Coordinates: 39°17′44″N 76°37′23″W / 39.29556°N 76.62306°WCoordinates: 39°17′44″N 76°37′23″W / 39.29556°N 76.62306°W Built: 1808 Governing body: Private NRHP Reference#: 72001496[1] Added to NRHP: June 13, 1972 Mother Seton House is a historic home located on the grounds of St. Mary’s Seminary at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a 2 1⁄2-story red brick house that is similar to other small homes built in the early 19th century for the predominantly French community nearby. It was built in 1808 as the home of Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774–1821), the first American-born woman beatified by the Roman Catholic Church. In the 1960s it was restored to its original appearance through the efforts of a committee which continues to operate it as a museum.[2] It is located adjacent to the St. Mary's Seminary Chapel.
Mother Seton House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
