Motor Chapel (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Michael Ferguson said:
Nice job, there, Motor Chapel. Looking good.
rosefirerising said:
This is fascinating. The idea that people needed that comfort of the feel of a real church when there wasn't a way to build them. Or was this for the homebound?

MOTOR CHAPEL IS LATEST DEPARTURE; Missionary Campaign to be Conducted in Southwest in Roman Catholic Church on Wheels. March 16, 1913, Sunday The motor-propelled church is the latest mode of carrying religion to the wilderness. The first "motor chapel" ever built in this country will soon enter into duty for the Catholic Church Extension Society to supplement the missionary tasks now being performed by railroad chapels. copied from this link query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F01E2D81139E633A... How cool is that?

Citizens of Arlington, Virginia Are Warned to Avoid All Contact with the Polluted Potomac River. This Sign Advises Immediate Medical Attention If Prolonged Exposure Occurs. 08/1972

from U.S. National Archives

Ken Mayer said:
The sign in the photo says Alexandria, so I believe the catalog data is wrong. Presumably the error came from the erroneous original caption? I'd like to tag this with the correct info, but tagging is disabled.
The U.S. National Archives said:
Thanks for this comment, Ken! Very good eye for spotting "Alexandria" on that sign in the Potomac River. Arlington and Alexandria are so close together on the Potomac it would be hard to determine exactly where the photo was taken and the location of the sign. Perhaps others can weigh in with thoughts and opinions. Also, we corrected the tagging restrictions on this photo set and you should now be able to add tags. Jerry (U.S. National Archives)
