Historical Information
No picture exists of Beulah Chapel.
Unfortunately, no illustration or description has been found to identify the shape (possibly 50 x 60 feet) or style of the Beulah Chapel (1844 - 1885). Also known as 'Tudor Baptist Church', which referred to its high pitched roof and grand exposed beams. This Meeting House was later used as a barn, until it burned in 1924.
This building was built in the Meeting House Style. The Meeting House style was typical of Baptist and Congregational congregations around this time frame in Atlantic Canada, due to its simplistic and rather quick-to-build design. The Meeting House style is characterized by a 1 ½ storey wood-frame construction, with either one or two entranceways located on the gable end. This building would have been covered in either wooden clad boards, or cedar shakes, and had a roof covered in wooden shingles. Heating sources during this time consisted of either a wood or coal burning stove, with illumination within the building coming from either whale oil or kerosene oil lamps.
