The roof is rounded with an elevated ridge in which are set clerestory casement windows for both light and ventilation. With doors located at each end of the car, the front of the car contains a small compartment that served as living quarters for the minister; the remainder of the car provided a large open area for church services. The interior has decorative vertically fluted wainscoting made of white oak. Originally, the car used kerosene lighting, which was later replaced with acetylene lighting which in turn was replaced with electric lighting.</p><br>
<p>When outfitted, it held 17 rows of pews, as well as an organ, a lectern, and a phonograph donated by Thomas Edison.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Starting in the 1890s, specially fitted railroad cars were built to be used as mobile churches. Missionaries would travel on the cars to remote and rural areas where the cars would be left on a sidetrack to provide religious services for residents in remote communities that lacked churches. Messenger of Peace was the fifth chapel car built for the American Baptist Home Mission Society. The initial funds to build Messenger of Peace were donated by women of the Baptist church, and so it was nicknamed "the Ladies car". Rev. Sam Neil was the first missionary to serve on the Messenger of Peace. Later missionaries to serve on "the Ladies car" included Rev. and Mrs. Joe P. Jacobs, Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Webber, Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Davis, Rev. and Mrs. Thomas R. Gale, and Rev. and Mrs. Robert R. Gray.</p><br>
<p>Messenger of Peace operated as a chapel car from 1898 to 1948, primarily in Washington. Although it spent most of its time in the west, Messenger of Peace travelled through at least 20 states over its years of operation. It was the last of the Baptist chapel cars to retire, and served the longest.</p><br>
<p>Some of the railroad lines that transported the Messenger of Peace were the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, the Union Pacific, and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, typically for little or no charge, although that would change during World War I.</p><br>
<p>Messenger of Peace was on display at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition of 1898, and again at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904. Father Francis Kelley determined to build chapel cars for his Catholic Church Extension Society after touring Messenger of Peace at the 1904 Exposition.</p><br>
<p>At one stop, noted evangelist Dwight L. Moody gave a sermon from Messenger of Peace, even though he wasn&#39;t a Baptist. The following year, while preaching in Kansas City, Moody fell seriously ill and wanted to return to his home of Northfield, Massachusetts to die. Messenger of Peace carried him to St. Louis to transfer to another train headed east.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 1910, Messenger of Peace partnered with the International Railroad YMCA to minister to railroad workers.</p><br>
<p>In 1942, Messenger of Peace was barged to the Olympic Peninsula where Rev. and Mrs. C. W. Cutler served the community, including local military personnel. The car and missionaries were relocated near Everett, Washington in 1946, where they continued their work until 1948, when the Messenger of Peace was retired.</p><br>
<h2>After retirement</h2><br>
<p>In 1949, Messenger of Peace was converted into a roadside diner in Snohomish, Washington, the Ritz-Limited Cafe. In the 1970s, the car was scheduled for destruction, but was instead purchased by Art Hodgins, a local man, for $1 and moved to his property. After his death, his family donated the car to the Northwest Railway Museum.</p><br>
<p>Messenger of Peace was moved to the Northwest Railway Museum&#39;s restoration shop in September, 2007. The car is being restored to its appearance circa 1917.</p><br>

<h2>W. Hawkins Ferry</h2><br>
<p>William Hawkins Ferry (or, more usually, W. Hawkins Ferry) was born in 1914 in Detroit, one of four children of businessman and politician Dexter M. Ferry Jr. and his wife Jeanette (Hawkins) Ferry. W. Hawkins&#39;s grandfather, Dexter M. Ferry, had founded the highly successful D.M. Ferry & Co seed company, which dominated the seed market at the turn of the century. W. Hawkins Ferry spent his childhood in Detroit and Grosse Pointe and attended Cranbrook. He attended Harvard University, graduating in 1937, then studied architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He dabbled in architectural design, but soon turned to art and architectural history. He was an important art collector and donor, and a trustee of the Detroit Institute of Arts. He was a proponent of Detroit architecture, and recorded and exhibited a breadth of architectural works throughout Detroit. His work culminated in the 1968 publication of the definitive book on Detroit area architecture, The Buildings of Detroit: A History. Ferry was also a proponent of Modern architecture, and appreciated the novel methods and look of the style. William Hawkins Ferry died in his home in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>W. Hawkins Ferry House history</h2><br>
<p>Ferry lived in his family home until 1959, when he moved into a speculative home he had designed himself. However, he thought of this home as "transitional," and soon was looking for a new place to live. He purchased a lot on Lake St. Clair containing an old frame house, and selected architect William Henry Kessler to design a new home. He also hired Carl Johnson to design the surrounding landscape. Kessler and Ferry integrated spaces for Ferry&#39;s art collection into the design of the home. The house was completed in 1964; Ferry moved in and lived there until his death in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The house was sold multiple times over the next decades, and underwent many interior modifications. In 2015, it was purchased by owners who restored the house to reflect Ferrys and Kesslers original intent.</p><br>
