Notes: The chapel was originally part of the Oakes Home for Consumptives founded by Reverend Frederick W. Oakes, who served as its first and only superintendent and chaplain. The tuberculosis home closed in 1934 and the original buildings comprising the complex were razed in 1975 to allow for new construction, leaving the chapel as the only original structure. The complex claims to be the first home for tubercular patients in Colorado and the second in the nation. Today, the chapel makes up part of The Gardens at St. Elizabeth Senior Living Community.
