Architecture: Little Chapel in the Woods, 1939

Little Chapel in the Woods
The Little Chapel, when dedicated by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt in ceremonies on November 1, 1939, was still unfinished. Work had progressed enough, however, that all in attendance knew that the Chapel was not only a place where nature and art combined beauty but was also a structure worthy of the honor it would later receive as one of Texas' 20 most outstanding architectural achievements.
The building was the first project of architectural firm Ford, Powell & Carson. It was also the site of my wedding in 1994.

Here's an article about the The Little Chapel published in UNT's newspaper, the NT Daily. I like their photo of the lights leading to the main stained glass window.
