Faith Chapel was built in 1904. The Chapel's Gothic - influenced design, exterior gargoyles, luxurious carpeting, and rich stained wood interior are most impressive.
The original organ which is very grand.
The West wall of the Chapel's front, features a stained glass window which was designed, installed, and signed by Louis Tiffany. Reportedly this is one of 5 such pieces know to exist.
The Tiffany Window.
At the east end of the Chapel behind the altar, is a beautiful stained window - Adoration of the Christ Child by Maitland Armstrong and his daughter, Helen. The window was installed as a memorial to Joseph Stickney, a Charter member of the Jekyll Island Club.
Adoration of the Christ Child.
A visit to Jeykell Island is certainly worth while. It provides a walkback in time of the rich and famous of their day.
Cheers,
