It was "the first in the United States within the Methodist denomination built specifically for this purpose." T. L. Hunt, for whom the chapel is named, was chairman of the board of trustees, and R. A. Young, Jr. was chairman of the building committee. Other members of the board were W. A. Downum, David Conyers, Dr. Will H. Mock, W. P.
