- It is small and was not built by a particular congregation for their worship services. It was built by the city, I believe, for funeral services for those being interred in the cemetery. It has not been used in many years because of serious structural problems which are easy to see if you look over the outside of the building. These problems were caused by excessive differential settling of the foundation. It's a very pretty little building, but the repair expenses cannot be justified by returning it to use as a chapel. However, a number of years ago, the city indicated an intent to reuse it as a mausoleum by creating spaces (niches) inside for interring cremated remains. The prospective sale of the niches was expected to justify the repair expenses. I don't know what happened to that plan. The Friends of Mt Hope Cemetery is a great source of information about this and other structures in the cemetery. - - As of Feb 28, 2009, the chapel is boarded up and cannot be entered.	+ The Chapel is small and was built by the city for funeral services of those being interred in the cemetery.
