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."
William Townsend Stanford (1867-1964) was named Vallejo's first Chief of Police on April 4th, 1900. He was a Mare Island Naval Shipyard mechanic with no prior law enforcement experience.
