In November of 1934, the $90,000 chapel at Fort Lewis had been recently completed. The chapel was a two-story brick structure with a colonnaded entry and a rose window above. The chapel was the showpiece of the 5 1/2 million dollar development program at Fort Lewis. During a six year period, 80 new buildings were built, as well as roads and a new water supply system. The bill for the work was covered by the federal government and provided jobs for thousands in the depression weakened economy. (T. Times 11/23/1934, pg. 1) (WSHS)
