<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Geoff10, post: 4471567, member: 76673&quot;]Thank you for the comments and opinions!!&nbsp; I know the bell I have was a gift from the architect of the orphanage building when it was made.&nbsp; It’s got 1912 on the bell itself.&nbsp; The chapel is original to the building also. It burned, if I remember, in 1979. You don’t normally see alter rails in residential houses, and the only shape I could think of at the time was to re purpose it was a mantle.&nbsp; It’s good at least part of it survived. It was a sad story. Building set fire to…..FD extinguishes it in reasonably quick order…..however inside of 24 hours it was burning again.&nbsp; Was only days before people were helping themselves to anything of value they could get out of the place.&nbsp; I had also taken a huge, like 2” thick, back door to the building I was planning to use to make a Dutch door out of when I subsequently built my house but I had it in the basement of my apartment building and along with my fathers inherited working desk, leather desk chair, glass top…..all got stolen along with a very large two stage compressor out of the garage……just sad all round……</p><p>In questioning everyone I could find on the armoire? Wardrobe? there was never even a hint it was brought here from someplace else….but….I guess the more you think you know, the less you actually know….&nbsp; I’d just love to know more…..not that it’s anything really special, but even looking on google images, I don’t see many that appear to be put together with this type of manufacture…..</p><p>THANKS AGAIN!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
