These are photos taken over the years of the Sargentville Chapel. They are followed by a history written by Catharine Clapp Sargent Marston and Leroy Chatto.
The Sargentville Chapel
The Chapel was built in 1889/90 and dedicated in 1891. It was built to provide a more convenient site for services, meetings and other community activities that had previously been held in schoolhouse number 3.
Initially the Chapel door faced onto Harding Lane but early on it was moved to its present position facing Reach Road.
In time a kitchen was added and a well was dug behind the building.
At one time there was a tennis court on Harding Way opposite the Chapel. Chandler Bowden’s home is in the background, hidden by the trees.
The home of Faustina and Azor Dodge was across from the Chapel. When that house burned to the ground the community came together and rebuilt it for the Dodge family.
The following is a history of the Sargentville Chapel with text by Catharine Clapp Sargent Marston and Leroy Chatto, reprinted by Winfield Chatto in 1984.
