He later relocated to Baltimore, Maryland, where became an instructor in art and architecture at St. Mary's College, the Sulpician Seminary. While in Baltimore, he designed a number of structures including the St. Mary's Seminary Chapel, the Battle Monument, and the Unitarian Church. Other projects included the Commercial and Farmers Bank (demolished), as well as gates and monuments in the Westminster churchyard, the sally port at Fort McHenry, as well as submitting designs for the Washington Monument. Godefroy became acquainted with Benjamin Henry Latrobe, and married Eliza Crawford Anderson, whose father, Dr. John Crawford, was one of the founders of the College of Medicine of Maryland.
