RESTORATION
PROJECT --- An artist's sketch of the restoration of Baltimore's Basilica
of the Assumption shows a return to monochromatic tones and a diffusely
lighted interior. Architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who designed the
structure in 1806, worked for free because he saw the cathedral as
a symbol of the new country's religious freedom. CNS/BASILICA OF THE
