Excerpt from the National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form:
Pond Road Chapel is a very good example of vernacular Greek Revival architecture as practiced in rural Vermont. Its historic nineteenth century fabric, including unusual ceiling and border wallpaper, and its original interior furnishings remain intact. The Advent Chapel was built in the outlying farming district of Vernon by the Second Advent Society in 1860 and has been in continuous use by the Society and its successor, the Advent Christian Church, since its construction.
