Description
In 1887 Northern sailors sent to City Point to repair decaying Civil War ships built St. Dennis Chapel. Largely Catholic, the sailors wanted a place to worship close to their home. At the time, the nearest Catholic church was in Petersburg. For much of the 20th century the former chapel was used as a residence and a museum. Now, it's ready for conversion as a residence, home office, or studio, among other possibilities. Behind the clear-span sanctuary -with large windows and heart pine floor- is...In 1887 Northern sailors sent to City Point to repair decaying Civil War ships built St. Dennis Chapel. Largely Catholic, the sailors wanted a place to worship close to their home. At the time, the nearest Catholic church was in Petersburg. For much of the 20th century the former chapel was used as a residence and a museum. Now, it's ready for conversion as a residence, home office, or studio, among other possibilities. Behind the clear-span sanctuary -with large windows and heart pine floor- is an open porch connecting to a small office with half bath. A spacious garage is ideal for workshop or storage. An enchanting garden with mature plantings and winding pathways completes this divine slice of history. The property is zoned TH-1, which includes residential use, but it shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser to confirm the zoning for any contemplated use. Offered "As Is."
