| dc.description.abstract | Slide showing the Fairplay schoolhouse (on the right) and the front of the Sheldon Jackson Memorial Chapel (on the left). The two-storied schoolhouse was constructed in 1880, and a rear addition was built onto it years later. Like many of the buildings that were constructed after fire destroyed most of Fairplay in 1873, it was built of stone. The Sheldon Jackson Memorial Chapel was built in 1874, and was named after Sheldon Jackson, who was the superintendent of all the Presbyterian missions in the West. In 1872 Jackson organized a congregation of Presbyterians in Fairplay and provided them with assistance in subsequent years. The church building is still in use and is now the South Park Community Church. | |
