Hollenbeck Memorial Chapel, 1908Submitted by kim on Tue, 12/02/2008 - 18:17.
In a letter written 1876, Elizabeth Hollenbeck told a friend "Many years have passed since we were called upon to hear the painful loss of our boy and there has been an aching void in my heart ever since."
In 1908, when her son would have been 54, Elizabeth Hollenbeck dedicated a non-denominational chapel in the neo-classical style, decorated with cherubs, stained glass and fluted columns, to the memory of her child. This miniature gem is the last surviving historic structure on the grounds of Hollenbeck Palms, the home for the elderly founded by Mrs. Hollenbeck in 1890 on the land surrounding her residence.
