Orchard 1st and 3rd Ward Chapel

Here is one of my favorite LDS Chapels. The building as a whole is not as exquisitely detailed as the Leura Chapel or Liepaja Chapel, but the A-frame portion of this Chapel alone is worth a visit. The chapel's use of natural light is stunning and I had a hard time pulling myself away. Above is a view of the Chapel looking towards the back of the chapel with the main lights turned on. Beautiful wood detailing can be seen at both the front and rear of the chapel. The exposed wood structural beams are also an important feature.

 

Originally the building was designed for the Orchard 1st and 3rd Wards in the South Davis Stake.
