Age Question

[edit]

Is this the oldest non-native American building in North America? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.82.14.142 (talk) 09:17, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have added it to List of the oldest buildings in the United States. Since it wasn't there previously, I can't say it's an exhaustive source. I would be interested in pursuing this research question further. - Paul2520 (talk) 18:41, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Town of Origin's Name

[edit]

My understanding is that the town where the Chapel originated is called Chasse, not Chassé ... Can anyone who knows more about French geography confirm (or refute!) this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.30.28.18 (talk) 15:40, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this has been fixed. According to Chasse-sur-Rhône and Google Maps, you seem to be right. - Paul2520 (talk) 18:43, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Context

[edit]

Should it not be made clear somewhere in the article that this building has positively nothing to do with the person of Jeanne d'Arc? It is my understanding that Jeanne never made it further south than the vicinity of Chinon. Unless I hear objections I will add such a disclaimer in a few days time.

Joan made it to Poitiers before she went to Orleans, but still, there does not seem to be clear evidence that Joan came to the chapel. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:46, 4 April 2016 (UTC).[reply]

St. Joan of Arc Chapel

The 15th-century St. Joan of Arc Chapel was initially built in the village of Chasse-sur-Rhône, France. Originally called the Chapelle de St. Martin de Seyssuel, it is said to have been the place at which Joan of Arc prayed in 1429 after she had met King Charles VII of France. The present name was given to the chapel when Gertrude Hill Gavin, the daughter of an American railroad magnate, had the derelict building dismantled, transported to America and rebuilt beside her French Renaissance–style château in Brookville, New York, in 1927. The chapel was undamaged when the château burned down in 1962, and was later given to Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, once more being transported stone by stone.
