The construction of a new hall was begun in 1928/29. In the 1930s, [[Samuel Stewart]] built an apartment over the hall to accommodate visiting preachers. Among those who helped with its construction was Colin Barter whose wife, Lyla, came to Grand Cascapedia in 1935 and taught school in the old school house. They were married the following year. Susie Woodman also taught in the same school house which eventually became her home.
As of 1942, this assembly was apparently “as large as any on the coast.” The following year it had a Sunday School with 64 on the roll and "there were five meetings every week, all very well attended.” We learn this through correspondence from Charlie Major who, according to Donald Huntington was “tall, with a booming voice and always wore a black suit.” In 1965 the name was changed from Gospel Hall to Chapel. Others named in connection with this assembly include Alex Gilken, Warren Gilken, Alfred Harrison, Milton Lovering and James Young.
