The only date I have with regards to the "Stoody Chapel" is on the label to this photo--1957. I am posturing whether or not this stated year and the obvious special occasion designated by the folks dressing up in period styles, might possibly be the year the WCTU became the Chapel. I had previously learned that the WCTU had "lasted into the 1950s" and that was about it. So I have now posted this photo in the Blog and the hypothesis that 1957 might be year of the transition.G.

I enjoyed your blog post on the temperance movement and thought this additional background would be valuable. By the way, do you know the date that the SLI WCTU building became Stoody Chapel? I was unable to find out. Probably in a set of minutes somewhere......<br /><br />From The New York Times:<br /><br />Women, Booze and the Vote<br /><br />The appropriation of a feminist theme for selling whiskey to women is nothing if not ironic.<br /><br />https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/05/opinion/women-votes-feminism-alcohol.html<br /><br />Nancy Sellarnoreply@blogger.com
