The clues were fine and I assume the answer could be abbreviated to DSC but I barely have time to follow these forums at all at the moment.

Well, Mr. Scott I think you have the right place with the letters D.S.C. I would not mind others asking for more clues or giving guesses?? I could always come up with a different place as well to keep the game going.

Well here is something to think about while I wait to hear if I got that last one correct.
Find a "house of worship" that connects a saint with "Nature red in tooth and claw"

Are ye' familiar with,

And love Creation's final law
Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shriek'd against his creed"
?

"In Memoriam A.H.H." is a poem by the British poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, completed in 1849.
That's as far as I got. There was a fire in St. Louis of that year, but I don't know how that ties into a particular "house of worship."
[Unless it's St. Louis Cathedral or somesuch, but that's probably pushing it a little far.]
