See the portion of the building on the right side of this photo? That's the chapel. I believe that the chapel originally used to be in the portion that jutted out toward the street; now, it's just classrooms. And the new chapel does not have any small paintings. It was a bit disappointing.
However, I did find this painting in the lobby:
Not your typical meetinghouse art, and a good touch for this chapel.
