Saint Paul's Chapel


USNTC Bainbridge -- Saint Paul's Chapel photographed in 1964 by Dorothy Montgomery while attending boot camp, probably the nicest image of the chapel ever.
The gold finish on the doors and cross is captured nicely in this photo.
Quite a contrast, gold overlay doors and stark gray Transite concrete asbestos siding.

Many thanks to Dorothy for kindly sharing her beautiful well framed pictures of Bainbridge. ▼

The Chaplain's rectory (not shown) was situated just to the right of the chapel.
The low building visible to the left is the Fiddler's Green Enlisted Men's Club. ▼

USNTC Bainbridge -- Lady's Chapel April 28, 1943.
“Lady’s Chapel” ??? This one has me stumped, similar interior construction but it has to be a completely separate building.
This chapel may have been situated at the very end of Bainbridge Road out near the Ship's Service Mess Hall and warehouse area.▼
