Chapel of Native Stone, Southington, 
Conn. 
A very appropriate and inexpensive 
mortiiar}- chapel in which use is made 
of local, material, has just been com- 
pleted in Oak Hill Cemetery, Southing- 
ton, Conn., at a cost of $.5,000. F. Ed- 
gar Norris, Boston, Mass., was the 
architect. The building is built of se- 
lected local field stone and has a red 
tile roof, with copper gutters, conduct- 
ors and flashings. 
In plan the building is rectangular 
20x34 feet exclusive of the front en- 
trance porch. The auditorium floor is 
a puritan floor resembling tile, dark red 
in color with a black border. Oppo- 
site the entrance doors is a large fire- 
place built up of field stone with a tab- 
let above it. The catafalque 
is placed at one end and is 
so arranged by means of a 
National Lowering Device, 
which is built in, tha' the 
casket is conveniently low- 
ered to the basement to the 
tomb, which is thoroughly 
ventilated, with double doors 
of copper, covered to prevent 
rusting. The roof rafters are 
finished exposed, and the 
walls of the sides and ends 
are plastered to the wain- 
scoting. The wood work is 
all North Carolina pine, 
stained in imitation of old 
oak. The plastered walls are 
of a shade of green to har- 
monize with the wood work. 
The windows are of leaded 
glass colored in soft tones. 
Southington is a very old 
Connecticut town and the 
cemetery has been in use 
since 1733. The chapel is lo- 
cated near the entrance and 
was a gift from the Bradley heirs as a 
memorial to their parents.
