Gritty, elegant, bold, thought provoking, and just plain fun. These are but a few words to describe the June 27, 2015 exhibition “Bushwick Comes to Putnam,” which featured works by Rafael Fuchs and artists represented by the Brooklyn Gallery, Mighty Tanaka.  

Six Whipple House Lane presented a unique backdrop to exhibit and explore art work inspired by and created in Brooklyn, New York. Urban views of rooftop gatherings, brick lots, fast moving colors, graffiti, and street corners filled with images of the people who inhabit these spaces found quiet reflection on the sunlit gallery walls.

The Cornerstone Park concept is based on the renovation of a central square – often the gas station - in the historic downtown of our older communities, reviving these centers and creating much needed greenspaces and tourism related services.  It is designed to enhance economic revitalization efforts with aesthetic improvements and by creating public space in a downtown area.

The chapel was recreated from the 1832 Red Mills Baptist Church in Mahopac which was dismantled in 1999 and kept in storage until 2006. The chapel was built under the direction of Peter Allegretta and George Whipple III. The steeple, which did not survive the years in storage, needed to be entirely rebuilt.

Area professional carpenters donated thousands of hours volunteering on Saturdays for nearly a year.

The chapel is named in honor of deceased Putnam County veterans Capt. George Carroll Whipple, Jr. and Sgt. Robert Stanton Feeley.
