St. Joseph’s Chapel, a wooden structure, was built in 1879 as a one- room school associated with a stone chapel built around 1860. The stone chapel was not used for an extended time and in the late 1880's services were moved to the school. St. Joseph’s continued to be used as both church and school until 1964, when the school was closed and students bused to Shea Heights. Regular services have not been held in the chapel since the late 1980's.
