I found some photos of the Coast Guard Academy Chapel in my fathers slides taken in 1960.



chapel in setting sunlight



My mom's notes for this picture, which are a little hard to read say

I don't understand what is 5" high - the bricks?

Then written in tiny writing on this slide it says





I have never heard of a lighthouse chapel. Is this what it is?

Probably 5 inches of solid Granite foundation..

That doesn't sound like much of a foundation - solid granite or not. My mother apparently was copying from a brochure which I do not have and I can't find anything on the internet.
