Leyburn, of Lexington, the contractor for the stone work; and A. M. Garner, of Fredericksburg, the contractor for the wood work. The cost of the Chapel was approximately $20,000. ¶ The architects original specifications for the building are in the archives of the Presbyterian Church, along with an account book kept by J. P.
