We Bought a Church

Quite awhile ago we heard about this old church being up for sale.  It took along time to get a bank to approve the loan to buy it and to get financing to do the repairs needed.  The chapel walls are made of adobe brick and are 32 inches thick but due to water damage over the years, the outside layers began to fail in several places.

The historical marker outside of the church is for the old Grantsville Fort. 


The chapel part of the church was inside the fort walls.


The plaque on the chapel tells the year it was built, 1866.


The rosette medallions used to have kerosene chandeliers hanging from them.
