POCATELLO (KPVI) – From a meditation chapel to a storage facility to an event center, the nearly 100-year-old James H. Brady Memorial Chapel in Pocatello is getting restored. The city’s historic preservation commission is working to raise money to update the chapel while still preserving its history.
As a building nearly a century old in the heart of historic Pocatello, the Brady Chapel has seen some ups and downs.
Its intended purpose has always been to be a meditation chapel, but according to Jim Anglesey, the staff liaison for the Pocatello Historic Preservation Committee, it hasn’t always served that purpose.
