Daughter of T.J. Price. Mary J. Price married Charles C. Griswold and resided at “Dolgradog,” her home that existed at the site of the present French Quarter. In 1926 she gave $400,000 in memory of her husband to build the YWCA Griswold Memorial Building. The “Patron Saint” of Marble Cliff, her bequest of land for a park and subsequent negotiated sale of the land to commercial interests by Mayor Falco in the late 1950’s provided for a sound financial future for Marble Cliff.
