I wasn't sure item this would fit in the "Indigenous Housing" string, but thought some would enjoy looking thru the achitectural info...

Maybe someone here has visited this chapel?

Beautiful chapel! Makes you feel like you are still outside. Blends in well with the forest.

That chapel is about 40 minutes from me, I have stopped by it many times. It is a great work of art. Look up Fay Jones, he is the builder, his buildings are great, there are quite a few in the area since he lived here in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
