100 years of Allen House.

65 years of Chapel: 

Brokenness into Beauty

1957 brought another gift from the El Pomar Foundation: the bronze gates with decorative crosses that still accent the brick wall surrounding our property. By this time, our burgeoning church had quickly outgrown the living room, and the newly re-named Chapel of Our Saviour had begun holding services in the Allen estate’s six-car garage, also known as the carriage house. The congregation worshiped facing east, with the building’s three large garage doors along the south wall. A remodel of the garage was funded primarily by Mary and Howard Creel. Howard oversaw the work personally, going so far as to wash “each and every brick,” according to one account. Much of the work was completed by the parishioners themselves, from refurbishing the building to furnishing the interior with handmade altar linens and other necessities.
