Joseph Stickney, builder of the Mt. Washington Hotel, and owner of
the Mt. Pleasant House, died suddenly in 1903 at the age of 64. His
Mt. Washington Hotel had opened the year before, in July 1902. His
wife, Carolyn, built a chapel to his memory on hotel property.
Today the granite chapel is formally known as the Episcopal Church of
the Transfiguration and is commonly referred to as the Stickney
Chapel. Many of Joseph Stickney’s friends donated to the chapel and
there are several bronze plaques in the building commemorating the
donors, including Joseph Downing Price.
