Fort Thomas' fort's chapel was dedicated on October 12, 1941, with members of three different faiths present - it was made of pine, had stained glass windows and had offices for three chaplains. An altar for Catholic services slid out of the front wall. Above it was a scroll cabinet for Jewish service. A pulpit was available for Protestant services. Moved after the war, it stands today at 338 East 9th Street, Newport, where it's the home of the First Church of God.
