acre Grove located on Chapel property, stand of mature trees, fifty to
seventy five feet tall.
Site
of Gazebo and Hearth, inside an already cleared circular area in the
heart of the Grove. |
FAMILY
GROVE and GAZEBO: The Grove is a beautiful stand of mature
trees occupying approximately one quarter of the full acre site upon
which the Chapel is located. It had been used in the past as the
location for family picnics and bazaars when the Chapel functioned as a
parish. The Grove retains its allure as a natural location for a
structure befitting Family use. The Gazebo will
be an octagonal structure 24' in diameter equipped with six picnic
tables located in six of the octagonal segments, three opposite three.
One of the segments will be the entrance portal with an approach ramp to
accommodate wheel chairs and also to facilitate access by eliminating
approach steps. The remaining octagonal section directly opposite
the entrance portal will be a full wall of stone masonry having a four
foot hearth in its center. The "Family Hearth" will be
constructed of local Pennsylvania stone; the design is consistent with
traditional regional patterns. Above the hearth and mantel, a
bronze plaque of Dedication will be installed.
It
is intended The Grove will be used as a place for rest and
refreshment by families and visitors to the Chapel. The
hearth will provide warmth on damp and chilly days. Roll-down
shades when needed, will provide a breakfront against sudden changes in
weather conditions. The lawn of the grove has been well-maintained
for many years through the good services of the next-door neighbor.
Owing to his diligent care, the lawn is already in excellent
condition. A local stone mason, of excellent skill and exceptional
artistry has been contacted to design and submit for consideration a
plan for the Family Hearth, the heart and center of the Gazebo.
Plans for the construction of the Gazebo are still being drawn. The
Grove and Gazebo will be dedicated in Honor of the Families, Children,
Relatives and Friends of the Heroes of Flight 93 |
