Epiphany(Submitted on July 23, 2025, by Pete Skillman of Townsend, Delaware.)Chapel and Church House is significant under Criterion A for its association with the mobilization for World War I. Constructed adjacent to Camp Meade [now Fort George G. Meade], a major training camp for troops bound for the front, the Chapel and Church House provided facilities for religious services and also accommodations for visitors to the camp, including soldiers and their families. It achieves significance at the state level as the only known World War I-era resource in Maryland that combined these functions. The building derives additional significance under Criterion C for its architectural character, reflecting the Arts and Crafts style in its simple form and massing, multi-paned casement windows, and the use of natural materials. Its design was an early work of the prominent Baltimore architect Riggin T. Buckler (1883-1955).Photographed by F. Robby, October 26, 20072. Epiphany Episcopal Chapel and Church House Marker
