Chapel of the Transfiguration
The Chapel of the Transfiguration is a small log chapel in Grand Teton National Park, in the community of Moose.[2] The chapel was sited and built to frame a view of the Cathedral Group of peaks in a large window behind the altar. The chapel, which was built in 1925, is owned and operated by St. John's Episcopal Church in Jackson.
The chapel complex is composed of the chapel itself, an entrance canopy that incorporates a small bell tower, and a storage shed. Access to the chapel is by boardwalk, leading to a beveled plank door with decorative ironwork. The 22-foot (6.7 m) by 50-foot (15 m) T-shaped chapel has exposed log interior walls with stained glass windows on either side.[6] Behind the altar on the chapel's axis, a picture window frames a view that substitutes for a stained glass composition.
The chapel was built to serve guests and employees of the dude ranches that stretched north of Jackson along the base of the Teton Range. The chapel was built in 1925 prior to the establishment of Grand Teton National Park in 1929.
