Yep. IIRC, they spent over a hundred grand to fix the leaky roof, and after the crumbly foundation shifted some more, the roof started leaking again. It was going to take another half million dollars to fix the foundation, which is a lot to pour into a building that wasn't all that useful to the university. As I've pointed out before, the old St. Mary's Catholic Church in town was built within 5 years of Barhydt Chapel and suffered a similar amount of structural dilapidation. But, when St. Mary's tore down their own old church building, there was nary a peep of protest about it. The stink over Barhydt was purely a bunch of faux outrage because a cult of Hindoo Voodoo weirdos tore down a church... OMG! They killed Jeebus!
