Chapel House takes a highly unusual form for a Roman Catholic chapel. It is intentionally discrete, designed to look like a small classical house in the countryside, possibly reflecting prevalent attitudes toward the Catholic Church at the end of the 18th century. The chapel was disused by 1898. Other sources state that it was used by Free Church of Scotland form 1843 (Geddes, Deeside and the Mearns). It stands close to the site of Dee Castle, erected by the Gordons in the mid 15th century, burnt in 1641.
