Description

The Chancery Annex is a small, discreet building designed to complement the function of the 1833 Chapel of Our Lady Restoration. It was designed to blend with the landscape.  The Chancery building serves as a “green room” for performers before concerts, provides comfort facilities and is a place for post event receptions. The green roof was constructed in Fall 2008.
