<p> [8] Minerva Chapel</p><p>Only a handful of buildings from the 1800’s still stand in Palm Beach County. The Minerva Chapel is one of them – and it led seven lives. </p><p>An unusual building with ornate columns and cornices, it began as a tea house at Henry Flagler’s Royal Poinciana Hotel when it opened in </p><p>1894, the year Flagler’s railroad arrived.</p><p>The disastrous 1928 Hurricane destroyed the hotel, so the tea house was floated 10 miles south to Hypoluxo to serve at the Willis Reinhardt estate as a guest house.</p><p>Next it became the exclusive Gold Key Club, part of the Lake Shore Club gambling casino. Only people who could afford substantial losses had a gold key. In the 1950s, it was used as an artist’s studio, caretaker’s cottage, and ended up as a gift shop at the Melton Autorama. </p><p>It moved yet again when James Brown bought it and sent it a short distance to his trailer park, where the Yacht Club is today. Brown turned it into a spiritual sanctuary. He installed a carved wooden altar, stained glass windows, added an exterior stone railing, and named it Minerva Chapel, after his mother’s first name.</p><p>Today the Minerva Chapel, relocated once more, is Holy Spirit Church on Drew Way in Palm Springs -- an Old Tradition Anglican Church. Its </p><p>66-seat capacity serves an active congregation.</p>
