This is a highly detailed wooden miniature of the Summerall Chapel on The Citadel campus. It's number CHS91 in the collection of unique Shelia's miniatures. Precision die cut and painted with a description and history of the chapel on the reverse. Also features The Citadel seal.
The back reads, "The cornerstone of the chapel was laid on September 7, 1936. The first service was held almost a year later on September 19, 1937, and the chapel was dedicated on April 10, 1938 as the Cadet Chapel. After General Summerall's retirement as president of the Citadel in June of 1953, the name was officially changed to the General Charles Pelot Summerall Chapel. Cruciform in design, the Chapel is a shrine of religion, of patriotism and of remembrance. The great chancel window, located directly behind the alter, was dedicated in 1942 as a memorial to all Citadel graduates who gave their lives in their country’s cause. The inscription across the front of Summerall Chapel reads, 'Remember Now Thy Creator in the Days of Thy Youth.'”
