Photograph of Stapp's Chapel. for many years the church building that housed the Grace Methodist congregation at Eldorado and Franklin Streets was known as Stapp's Chapel. the church was organized in 1866 and a mission building erected. As the congregation grew a new church was needed. Dr. J. T. B. Stapp, a prominent and wealthy business man, contributed liberally to the building of the church in 1867, and it became known as Stapp's Chapel. Later the name of Grace Methodist was adopted. The building was used until 1906 when it was sold to the Masons and the congregation went to a new church on North Main street. In 1930 Frede and son bought the property and wrecked to make way for the present Fede building. Photo ran 11/8/1935 in the Herald and Review.
