I was stationed at Davisville during 1969-1970. Most of the base consisted of lots of Quonset huts, concrete and steel buildings, and some standard wooden fare. However, one of the unique buildings is the base chapel. It was constructed of reinforced concrete, in A-frame style, and appropriately, set into a pine clearing. The last Seabee left the base when it was closed in 1994, but the chapel and a few other buildings remain as part of the Seabee History Museum. The museum is on U.S. 1, just north of Wickford.

I managed to catch the interior a bit late in the afternoon, in October 1969. The original transparency was captured on Ektachrome 64, exposure not noted.
