It was constructed in 1898.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the chapel is a locally significant example of Late Gothic Revival church architecture of the late nineteenth century, with a tripartite front-gabled plan, stained glass windows, and a largely unchanged exterior and interior. It describes the building as rare in northeastern Lancaster County and as one of only four sandstone or brownstone Late Gothic Revival churches or chapels in the county. Its original tin ceiling, woodwork and aquamarine paint are cited as retained features.","narrative":"Built in 1898 in the village of Reinholds, West Cocalico Township, this one-and-one-half-story Sunday School chapel is constructed of irregularly coursed, rusticated native red-brown sandstone under a slate roof. Its front-gabled plan is thirty-two feet wide and fifty-two feet deep, and the south facade has a center entrance flanked by stained glass windows, with a steeple, belfry and fishscale slate spire on the gable end. The interior is a single room with a tin ceiling painted silver and bronze, original woodwork and traces of aquamarine wall paint. The deed, dated 1898, directed that the building serve the Lutheran and Reformed congregations of the village and be named Trinity Chapel. It was used as a union Sunday School until 1984. The nomination regards it as a rare and well-preserved example of late-nineteenth-century rural church architecture in Lancaster County, notable for its tripartite facade and stained glass interior. A local group raised funds to save it in 1987.","period_of_significance":"1898","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Gothic Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a Sunday School until 1984; after the closing the building was threatened in 1987, and a local group saved it; the present owners intend continued use as a non-denominational chapel.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:37.886446-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/90001412.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71997978","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinholds_Station_Trinity_Chapel","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7310388"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/lancaster-county/reinholds-station-trinity-chapel-90001412/"}
