 Finding Rikers Island's 'Lost Chapel'
In seeking background about the existing structure that had been used by resident Jesuit chaplains assigned to the island, the research unexpectedly uncovered a fact long faded from agency memory: that another chapel building had stood just across the road and was used by the resident Protestant chaplain and his family.
The separate chapel residence should not be confused with the Penitentiary's own rather large interior chapel facilities for the inmates.
Behind the Protestant chapel can be seen, in the full aerial view, the vast tree nursery that in those days took up much of the island not occupied by the Penitentiary and its support buildings, many of which were clustered near the ferry slip facing the Bronx mainland.

In 1926 Gertrude Hill Gavin, daughter of James J. Hill, the American railroad magnate, acquired the Chapel, and it was Couelle who negotiated its transfer to her fifty-acre estate at Jericho, Long Island, in the New World.
When the Chapel was dismantled the Mayor of Chasse collected, from the remaining records and from the older aristocratic families of the countryside, some of the ancient traditions associated with the Chapel, "the stones of which you have removed some days ago." To Couëlle he further wrote:
The Chapel in question must have been built in the fifteenth century, perhaps even before, and was called the Chapelle de St. Martin de Sayssuel…this Chapel, dating from the Middle Ages, formed a small edifice which was without doubt used for devotions and for the burial of influential people of the community.

 Island History
By that time the chapel had no jewels or vestments, and was rarely used for worship, although a local man accused of landing on the island for the purpose of piracy in the 1530s explained that he was there on a pilgrimage.
The island was at that time occupied by Amram Hooper and his daughter 'Tilda, who received the spirits from the ship's crew, and kept the men shut up in their house, now called Smuggler's Cottage, while they stowed the goods in places known only to themselves.
Daffodils were farmed on the island, benefiting from its mild winter temperatures, until a few years ago, when the Atkins sisters decided to concentrate their efforts on the conservation of the natural life of the island.
