Built in 1903, the Chapel at Congressional Cemetery has been the site of numerous funerals, weddings, meetings and celebratory events. The last repair work done in the early 1980's replaced the interior which had suffered severe termite damage. The slate roof has now exceeded it's 100-year life expectancy. Serious leaks have already done damage to the interior. We need your help to raise the funds to make urgent repairs and prevent further damage. read more |  Click for larger |
