The interior of the Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. It is a lovely non-denominatinal chapel that is located on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

I recently attended the wedding of two former students that took place at the Anthony Chapel in Hot Springs, Arkansas, designed by Maurice Jennings, a former partner of Fay Jones. The influence of Jones’ celebrated Thorncrown Chapel is evident, but Jennings definitely takes the idea...

An extraordinary building by Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright. This is located in Rancho Palos Verdes, across the street from what used to be Marineland. My sister got married here 50 years ago. The chapel has lasted longer than my sister's marriage.
I took this photo one cloudy day in Bella Vista, AR Mildred B Cooper Memorial Chapel. It has to be about the most perfect church for a small wedding anyone can imagine!

I fell in love with this chapel years ago because of its suggestive design. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the University of Oklahoma in Norman but it was never built. The design starts from a misunderstanding between Wright and his client, a car dealer named Fred Jones, since he wanted an extension... Read More
Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. Campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. This point of view reminded me of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater - especially with the way the steps seem to flow down from underneath the chapel through a river of green. Fallingwater was completed in 1937 and the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, the first of his buildings to be completed at the campus, was begun in 1938. view LARGE on BLACK

Designed by Lloyd Wright, son of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and built in 1951, The Wayfarers Chapel located in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, is a miracle of engineering. Comprised of precious few redwood beams and a tremendous amount of glass, Lloyd Wright called his design a "tree chapel." When construction was complete, it was just a building on a dusty hill, surrounded by saplings. But Lloyd Wright said, “When the trees that surround the Chapel grow up, they will become the framework, become a part of the tree forms and branches that inevitably arise from the growing trees adjacent to it. I used the glass so that the natural growth, the sky, and sea beyond became the definition of their environment.” Now, the chapel does indeed blend in with the grove of redwoods that surrounds it. It is a stunning sight, and an important part of the lineage of the history of architecture. Above: Frank Lloyd Wright, left, with his son Lloyd and grandson. On a personal note, I had a dream some time in 1981, where I walked into a church that looked almost identical to the Wayfarers Chapel to see my grandfather who had died nearly a decade earlier. At the time of this dream, I had never seen the structure and did not know of its existence. I can still see it clearly in my memory of the dream, and it was astonishingly beautiful, even ethereal, because of the part of the church that was not there--the walls--as well as for the seamless link to the surrounding trees and sky. http://www.wayfarerschapel.org/

Bella Vista Arkansas is proud to be the home of the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel. The Chapel was created by renowned Arkansas architect Euine Fay Jones. In 1991, Fay Jones was awarded the American Institute of Architecture's highest award, the AIA Gold Metal. Fay was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright where he was first introduced to the principle of Organic Architecture (designing to fit the environment). Built to honor Mildred Borum Cooper, wife of John A. Cooper, Sr., Founder of Cooper Communities, Inc, the Chapel is a fitting memorial. Besides being a devoted wife, mother, and member of the community, Mrs. Cooper had a deep spirituality and love for nature. Her family commissioned the Chapel in her honor to celebrate her life and her dedication to God and his creations.
