| The Tower by the Glass (Wayfarers) Chapel (which is hidden by the trees) |

| Tower Completed 1954 |
The glass chapel was designed by Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd. I found the 1954 photo of the chapel with tower in the Visitor Center building of this Swedenborgian Church with the following caption: "The tower, sidewalks, berm planting stonewalls and Reflection Pool were constructed. Lloyd Wright called the tower a "Hallelujah" with a sense of upraised hands in celebration. The bells were added in 1978."

It looks like it might be Catalina Island in the distance.
One of my favorite places
I love this place...nostalgic...and I love now-and-then photos.
I love the view!
I love the glass chapel!
That's an impressive sight/site. Do we still make buildings that are this wonderful?
I didn't know Wright's son was also an architect. Hard to follow your "genius" father into the same field. Brave too.
What beautiful scene. Just the way he inteneded it to be, after all these years.
It seems we're always on the fast track when I visit but I'd love to see your part of the world Tash. These confirm it!
