| History |
Our non-denominational Chapel is a
Historic Site originally constructed in
1910 as the Saint Mark's Episcopal
Church on Euclid & "F" Street.
When the congregation eventually left
for a larger home, the entire building
was transported to its current location
in 1968 in three sections. A group of
volunteers set about transforming it
into a museum, but before the work
was complete a fire broke out in 1982,
ending the Chapel's museum days,
however it paved the way for it to be
used as a wedding chapel. Even
though the museum items burned, the
chapel itself still exerted much
elegance and charm, and many
requests were received for romantic
wedding ceremonies to be held here.
Now on one of Upland's quiet tree-
lined streets rests this historic site, the
Fleur de Lis Wedding Chapel. This
quaint, wood-shingled building is set
far back from the road with it's
distinguishing bell tower.
The USS Mattaponi ship's iron bell is
on loan from the Naval Historical
Center in Washington D.C., and is
rung as our brides & grooms make
their grand exit. The USS Mattaponi, a
fleet tanker, was one of the fastest
oilers which served the U.S. fighting
forces at sea from World War II to 1972.
Period furnishings were brought in,
such as a marble-topped mahogany
hutch at the back of the Chapel. The
interior conveys an endearing
simplicity, but is by no means plain.
Three stained-glass windows
showcase a cross and fleur de lis
afloat in a sea of turquoise. The high,
vaulted ceilings of rustic wood are
graced with an antique crystal
chandelier, and the rich oak of the
pews, stage, and altar offer a timeless
sense of comfort. Against the altar
wall, a faded stencil of a cross and
more fleurs de lis are softly uplifting.
