Pictured: Per the Mare Island Museum: "St. Peter’s is the oldest naval chapel in the United States. Set in lush “Chapel Park” and surrounded by soaring eucalyptus, the Chapel is a classic example of Victorian Gothic architecture with its tidy brown shingles, cream-colored trim, steep pitched roof, and soaring octagonal spire. It also includes 29 brilliant stained-glass windows, 25 of which are from the famed Tiffany glass studios in New York."
Annie Elizabeth Pennycook (1866-1946), a native of Tuolumne County, came to Vallejo as a child. She was a Vallejo school teacher for 47 years and then a principal for five more years. She retired in 1939. A new elementary was named in her honor in 1957. Photo courtesy of Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum.
