Memorial
Chapel of All Souls St. Huberts
,
New York
This Episcopal chapel
was begun in 1912 as a “memorial to all souls, near and
distant, known and unknown.”
Intended as the
successor to the Rev. George W. DuBois’ Felsenheim Chapel, All
Souls was built by William Otis of
Keene
Valley
on land purchased from the Adirondack Mountain Reserve. The
first service was held in 1912 and the chapel was consecrated in
May 1916.
The Parish House, known
as the DuBois Memorial, was built in 1915 by William Otis, using
lumber saved for the purpose when the Felsenheim Chapel was torn
down in 1914.
Many furnishings from
Felsenheim Chapel were transferred to All Souls, including the
Cross, the Chalice, the Bishop’s Chair, the Pulpit, Prayer
Desk and Lectern, and two lovely stained glass windows.
First as a mission and
later as a summer chapel, All Souls has continued to serve both
summer and year-round residents of the community. The Father
Mabry fund (named after the priest whose dynamic leadership
revitalized the chapel in the late 1960’s) ensures that the
door of the Memorial Chapel of All Souls will always be open
during the summer and its mission will continue. |
