On Thursday, December 4, Halloran & Sage Business and Commercial Law Partner Henry Beck, Jr. participated in the official deed transfer of a circa 1870 chapel to the Town of Columbia. Henry coordinated the gift to the Town on a pro-bono basis for the Columbia Congregational Church.
The historic structure was used by the church for worship services when originally built. Later it was used as a Sunday school and for youth groups until the 1970s. Since the 1980s, the chapel has served the local community for art shows and book fairs. The Town will continue to maintain it as part of its picturesque town green and to use it for similar secular activities.
