Story

The Forrest Cemetery Chapel and Comfort Station are historic structures in Gadsden, Alabama. The chapel, comfort station, and cemetery gates were built in 1935 by workers from the Works Progress Administration, and designed by local architect Paul W. Hofferbert, who also designed the Legion Park Bowl. The chapel is designed in Gothic Revival style, with a steeply pitched gable with three lancet arched windows and a square tower with lancet arch opening for the entrance. The front gate columns and wall are connected to a hipped roof comfort building, which originally housed restrooms, but is now used for storage. All three are constructed of rough-cut sandstone blocks quarried from nearby Lookout Mountain. The buildings were listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1988 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

attended the walk through time event today and had an absolute wonderful time. The Actors were very informative and played their character with excitement and authenticity. the Cemetery itself is really well kept and just a nice place to be. I'm proud to have such a nice cemetery that is full of historical figures from the Gadsden area. I look forward to attending this event every year!
