Step back in time to the 19th century with this captivating scene of colonial charm. The West facade of the chapel, adorned with intricate carvings and double flying buttresses, sets the stage for a tranquil moment. Seated in the foreground, a side chair and settee from Brooklyn, New York, crafted from black walnut, add a touch of elegance. The crocket detailing on the chapel's facade brings to mind the ornate stonework of iconic European cathedrals, such as the Florence Cathedral in Italy or Lichfield Cathedral in England. Yet, this peaceful scene is not without a hint of adventure - the memory of Davy Crockett's legendary bear fight echoes through the forest, reminding us of the spirit of the wild frontier that once defined this land.
