*Remarks:

   The chapel was built by Episcopalians
   in 1903, associated with Oakes Home
   Sanatorium.  The property was sold to
   Catholics in the 1940s, becoming a
   retirement center by 1954.  In 1961,
   the original name was transferred to
   what had been All Saints Episcopal
   Church, nearby, when that parish moved.
   The retirement center adopted its
   present name in 1987.
