The two keywords in this flat, SMALL and DISASTER represent a single word and a two-word phrase, respectively. They are anagrams of each other with the exception that the phrase represented by DISASTER has one added letter. Except for the added letter, the single word and the two-word phrase not only have the same letters, but the letters are in the same order.

Both SMALLs, and those who believe,
Loved our frescoes and friezes
Of Adam and Eve 
And of Mary and Jesus.
But now our musee 
Displays only bare plaster.
There's naught on display;
You can blame a DISASTER.
 
HINT:
The letter added to the two-word phrase is R.
 
Answer:
 
ATHEIST
ART HEIST
