In Dunn County, Wisconsin, a Historic Episcopal chapel threatened with demolition

A historic Episcopal chapel in Dunn County could be demolished if no one comes forward to claim it.

Once owned by the Episcopal Diocese, the chapel is on the property of Bundy Hall, a Menomonie mansion that spent three years on the market before being purchased for a retreat center.

The Buddhist organization that bought the hall uses the conference room for meditation, according to real estate agent Pat Sabota of Andale Real Estate.

They have no need for the chapel and can’t afford to maintain it, she said, so the buyers, Sabota and the Episcopal Diocese are seeking someone to move the structure off the property.

    Well, we know one group that will never, ever be allowed to purchase the property….

    C’mon, how dumb do they think I am? After I buy it and move it, and fix it up, TEC will sue me, and declare under the Dennis Canon that whoever signed the contract did not have authority to sell it, cite precedent in California, and I’ll end up with them taking it back, along with the new piece of real estate and probably have to pay their legal fees to boot.
