Built on the highest elevation in The City of Frederick, Red Hill, this historic mansion has hosted many popular visitors. It was the site of General Meade’s takeover of the Army of the Potomac immediately before the Battle of Gettysburg. The mansion is now home to St. John’s Catholic Prep, Frederick’s Roman Catholic high school.  The new St. John’s Catholic High School will soon be completed and will be relocating from the Prospect Hill Mansion.

Do you have any pictures of the inside of Prospect Hall before it was a school? Is there any history of the place other than what is in this artical.

Thanks for asking! Here is a link to an article at Hallowed Ground: http://goo.gl/6PTxL
The listing at the National Register of Historic Places: http://goo.gl/gBzGX
And here are some old pics, only 2 of the interior: http://goo.gl/F88Bu (You have to scroll down to the bottom)
There is a file on Prospect Hall in the Maryland Room at the C.Burr Artz Library… someday I’d like to check it out:)
