Architecture, Churches

Hidden Treasure

Oakland Cemetery Chapel

Most St. Paulites can not identify this chapel. It is on the grounds of Oakland Cemetery.  The cemetery was started in 1853. This chapel is a replacement of the original and was built in 1924.  It isn't the oldest or biggest church in St. Paul by a long shot but it is beautiful especially in the fall.  For the photographers out there I have to say Oakland is a great place for photography. There are huge oak trees everywhere and some wonderful tombstones and vaults.
