The Garrett Chapel, also known as the “Little Chapel on the Mount” was built by Evelyn and Paul Garrett, who founded and
ran Garrett and Company from 1902 until 1940.  Garrett and Company was once among the largest wine producers in the world,
with peak output exceeding 10 million gallons per year.  Much of the grapes were grown on this very spot, on approximately 4000
acres of land in the Finger Lakes.  Today, the Garrett Chapel stands as the last significant remnant of this once great organization.
The chapel was erected in memory of Evelyn and Paul's son Charles, who died of tuberculosis in 1929.  Many of the Garrett children
died young, and Charles was the only son to survive to adulthood.  With him died the family name and the heir apparent of Garrett
and Company.  Survived by his parents and three sisters, the family sought to commemorate his life and the principles to which they
subscribed by building this chapel on the place he loved most – Bluff Point.

 The Chapel is constructed in the 6th century Norman Gothic style, with careful focus on artistic detail.  Materials were imported
from all over the world, but it is the fusion of old world materials with new product innovations that are of greatest interest from an
historic preservation perspective.  These facts, coupled  with the unique crypt windows, and Paul Garrett’s tie to the early
development of the American wine industry, the Chapel would gain recognition on the National and New York State Register of
Historic Places in 2001. Today, it serves as a seasonal church and historic landmark.

The Chapel was deeded to the Episcopal Diocese of Rochester in 1931. However, it is solely supported by a private nonprofit
501c3 organization which is responsible for all aspects of stewardship, care, and maintenance.
