Much gratitude to Janet Way and the others who have worked hard to preserve this fine, old chapel.
Thank You Janet for all the dedicated effort that brought Shoreline it's first national recognition! And it's such a lovely place with significant importance as a place for healing.
Much gratitude to Janet Way and the others who worked hard to preserve this small forest grove and the fine, old chapel nestled in it.
Thank you Janet for all your hard work and dedication on this great achievement!
Good work. Now how about the trees? In 5 years will it be an old building in the middle of a parking lot with cars surrounding it?
Most of the surrounding trees are protected as part of the Landmark. Except a few that are shown behind the chapel were cut, with a permit by staff out of fear they could fall.
