Scott Chapel began as the Chinn Chapel
African Methodist.Episcopal Church. The cornerstone of the church
dates the church back to 1890.
The church today stands on the
same ground along Bayou Lettsworth purchased by its founders a century
ago. The building and grounds are contained just over half an acre.
The land was originally part of the plantation owned by Ernest F. Platt.
It was purchased from the Platt family on June 3, 1903 for $100.
After being renamed Scott Chapel,
the church was one of the first in the are to be used as a public school
for children. |
