No chapel, that whole building is the furnace and workspace. The unpainted wood "shed" section in the exterior pic is the building in the first pic with the load hole. The lower corrugated looking roof is the brick area, and the last little sticky-up part is the brick wall the pretty window in it.

Here's a good illustration of the whole works.

There's a star at the bottom of that tube...

I don't recall seeing that before.
The plaque said something about being made in Alabama.

These pix don't really convey how massive this thing is. The nuts in the last pic are almost as big as your head.
(Oooh, I can see where *that* is going.)
We stood around it for almost an hour just looking at it and going *wow.*
There are railroad tracks that run into the bottom of it where the cart was rolled in before the cotton was squashed onto it and strapped down, we figger.
It really needs to be in a museum somewhere.
