Description

Chapel Inn (Duarte) -- Built in 1896 of rock construction, this chapel, located on what is now Highway 66 in Duarte, is said to be the third oldest Episcopal church building in California. In 1927 it was deconsecrated and purchased by Clarence Gordon who converted it into a restaurant that became famous for its "excellent food served in a quiet, old-world setting". The building has been torn down.

Description

Sierra Madre's First Library -- The deed which transferred title to this building's landsite, owned by Mr. Nathan Tarr, restricted it to library use. This building was razed in 1954, and the present library was constructed on the same grounds -- what is now 440 West Sierra Madre Boulevard.
