Show Service Held At Chapel Site Groundbreaking ceremonies were conducted last Saturday afternoon for the new $237,000 Holladay Seventh Ward chapel, LDS church. The new chapel, according to Seventh Ward Bishop William S. Partridge, will be located at 4407 Fortuna Ave. at the base of ML Olympus. The first shovelful of dirt was turned by Holladay Stake Pres. G. Carlos Smith who spoke briefly at the ceremony. Boyd C. Bott, second counselor to Pres. Smith, also spoke and Heber C. Petersen, first counselor, gave the prayer. A short talk was given by Don Rasmussen, chairman of the building build-ing committee. Work will begin this week, Bishop Partridge said. The new two-level chapel has been designed to blend with its Mt. Olympus surroundings. A balcony will overlook over-look the Salt Lake Valley and the mountain behind. The new chapel will contain 24 classrooms, a large recreation hall, Relief Society room, two foyers, two bishop's offices and two clerk's offices. It will be a three-unit, two-ward building built uniquely of brick and glued laminated wood. Architect for the chapel is Paul K. Evans. Building supervisor is Frank Pemperle. Bishop Partridge's counselors are Wayne S. Brown, first, and M. R. Ballard Jr. second. |
