Chapel on the Hill - Restoration Progress Photographs II
The two photographs above were taken in the December 2001 showing the new windows in the old Chapel. The building had been set up for its first public showing in the Society's very first Christmas Tour of Homes on December 8th of that year.
The photograph above was also taken in the December 2002 showing the aisle leading to the pulpit in the old Chapel. The building had been set up for its second public showing in the Society's Christmas Tour of Homes on December 8th of that year.
The restoration of the Chapel on the Hill was done so in hopes that it would generate its own maintenance funds through rentals to the public for weddings and other events. Before the completion of the restoration effort, the Chapel was rented for a wedding ceremony on October 1st. 2003. The photograph on the right was taken in December of 2003 showing the new blue carpet, which was donated by Shaw Industries Inc. in South Pittsburg, Tennessee.
The two photographs above were taken on March 4, 2004. The one on the left shows the new sandstone Chapel stone sign laying in the front of the Chapel ready for erecting. The stone was donated by Sam Hunter and Jim Rogers donated time and vehicle for the transportation of the stone to and from the engraver. The picture on the right shows location where the stone will be placed.
The top left photograph was taken in the afternoon of Thursday, March 4, 2004 as Dennis Lambert begins to break ground for the footing for the new stone marker. Pictured left to right are: Lambert, Carolyn Millhiser, Doris Durham and Susan Mack. The upper right picture was made the following day after the stone had been set into a concrete footing. Employees of Rogers Funeral Home in South Pittsburg used a burial vault crane to position the stone into place. After being set and leveled, Lambert worked the concrete into place setting a permenant marker for the Chapel on the Hill.
