The Chapel of Our Lady with Saint Alban in the north transept
 

Until recently, the north transept, built in 1876, housed the Font, the Lady Shrine, windows in memory of Dr. Charles Allen, and Fr. Henry Moore Davis and his wife Lydia, and fixed pews to supplement the seating for the congregation in the nave.


However, in the spring of 2004, the transept furnishings were removed while the floor was being refinished. The Font was moved to the west end of the nave and moveable pews replaced the fixed pews in the transept.
 

With the addition of an Altar generously loaned to the parish by the Cathedral of All Saints in Albany, the transept has become the Chapel of Our Lady with St. Alban.  The Altar was originally built for St. Alban's Chapel in the Cathedral and consecrated by the Right Reverend Wilbur E. Hogg, the sixth Bishop of Albany.
