Lady of the Snows - Emmet Layton architect - Mississippi River Valley

The devotion to Our Lady of the Snows was first introduced to the Midwest in 1941 by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. In April of 1943, the perpetual novena to Our Lady of the Snows was begun. The first Solemn Outdoor Novena was held in 1951, the final day being celebrated on August 5, the Feast of Our Lady of the Snows. The Novena became an annual event which soon attracted thousands each year. In the summer of 1958, work on the permanent Shrine on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River Valley began. Emmet Layton was the landscape architect for the site; I haven't found who was the architect yet.
