A frame Roman Catholic chapel opens as Governors Island grows for World War II
Our Lady Star of the Sea was built about 1942 as a Roman Catholic chapel while the Army base expanded during the Second World War. It is a one-story wood frame building with a small tower and copper finial at its north end, and it stayed in religious use. The vinyl siding on its walls dates from the 1970s.
