The House of Prayer is located on the west side County Road 63, near the intersection with County Road 16. It is easy to spot when one approaches the area. There appear to be no restrictions on visiting. There is parking available by the side of the road next to the building.
Inside is a stone seat or prayer area with what looks like a painted millstone on top. It has the characteristic markings of a millstone. A search on the web came up blank, so we do not know anything about the chapel or the center stone other than what we can guess by looking. People have placed items in the center of the stone, which no one seems to bother.
The description from the Roadside web page, noted below, reads:
"An interesting, small, igloo-shaped dome with a granite sign over the opening, "House of Prayer." Inside is a low, circular bench or prayer table of some kind (it looks an awful like like an old well that has been capped and cemented over). Not much is known about this small roadside prayer house. It's been there for at least 30 years and it's not uncommon to find prayer requests written on pieces of paper inside."
