About the Chapel
Built in 1895, the Mission Farm Chapel is architecturally unique for the area. The historic stone chapel was designed by architect Arthur Smith and built from granite quarried in Plymouth, Vermont.
The building consists of a one-story main block oriented perpendicular to the road, the recessed and reduced south ell, a three-story bell and entrance tower of square plan at the west interior corner between the main block and the ell, and a small rear wing in the east interior corner between the larger blocks. The main block and south ell carry steeply pitched gable roofs while the tower is capped by a pyramidal hip roof and the rear wing by a shallow-pitched hip roof.
The tower was originally constructed with a flat roof that apparently proved prone to snow accumulation and water leakage. The present hipped cap was added about 1905. The interior woodwork appears to be Southern Yellow. It shows up on the wainscot, chair rail that covers the wall, thick jambs of the doors the ceiling of the sanctuary and the around the stained-glass windows.
