urner Road Bible Chapel, the last incarnation of a religious institution found in the red brick building near the corner of Tecumseh and Walker roads, has been sold. The buyer is well-known restaurateur Van Niforos, owner of the Penalty Box, just around the corner on Walker. The property sold for $1.15 million earlier this spring. The chapel closed for undisclosed reasons, and a church representative who could speak on the matter could not be found. However, it’s believed a factor in the closing was a decline in membership numbers, a common reason for such closings in recent years. Niforos said the church put the property on the market. The building itself is more than 100 years old. The church had a non-denominational congregation focusing on the New Testament, and also did considerable missionary work. Continued on page 5
