Wilde Memorial Chapel. 
The illustrations on this page show exterior vievv 
and floor plan of the Wilde Memorial Chapel, recently 
erected at Evergreen Cemetery, Portland, Me., as a 
gift of Mrs. Mary Wilde in memory of her husband. 
The structure is English Gothic in style and is 62 
by 31 feet in ground dimensions, the auditorium being 
40 by 28 feet, with a seating capacity of about 200. 
The chancel at the rear of the chapel is 19 by 17 feet, 
and at the entrance is a vestibule from which stair- 
ways lead to the gallery and basement. A porte- 
cochere and a handsome bell-tower, bearing a bell 
weighing 765 pounds, add much to the beauty of the 
exterior. 
The nave is 23 feet high in the center and the entire 
interior is finished in cypress, natural color. The 
floor is of granolithic, and the interior walls of buff- 
colored Philadelphia brick. Five stained glass win- 
dows of handsome design, made by Spencer, Moakley 
& Bell, of Boston, furnish light to the auditorium. 
The chapel was designed by F. A. Thompson, of 
Portland, and cost about ,$25,000. It was built of 
Maine granite from the North Jay quarries of the 
Maine & New Hampshire Granite Co., and the mason 
and stone work was done by Frank W. Cunningham 
& Co., of Portland. Impressive dedicatory services 
were recently held.
