Moore Chapel (1906) a Decatur Gem

Moore Chapel is a little gem that serves the United Methodist Children's Home.


I've been driving by for decades hoping to see inside.

One day the door was wide open and I had a look inside. Glad I did. What a space, what stained glass.

I was saying "Hello, Terry here, hello" all the while. Nobody home though so I took a few pictures and a video (below).


"In Memoriam William Chandler Smith"


Cornerstone 1906


"In Memory of Frank S. Bale"  Is it a "B?"


Who's who including George Muse.


The narthex stained glass window. "In Memory of Asa G. Candler III"


Looking back into the Narthex.


The first door to the left leads to a little chapel / office (see video below).  The second door is the sacristy in a niche.




The ceiling.


I don't know what you call these. Decorative braces?


View from the chapel into the little chapel / office.

Here is the little video.


Wish I'd taken more time.

Grateful for the opportunity.
