I saw some amazing architecture on my stroll through Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. The Rockefeller Chapel towers over the intersection of Woodlawn & E. 59th St. It's vertical style standing in stunning contrast to the horizontal nature of Frank Loyd Wright's Robie House which is on the east side of Woodlawn. The chapel was designed by famed early 20th century architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue. It was completed in 1928, the final gift to the University of Chicago from benefactor and founder John D. Rockefeller, for whom the Chapel was named after his death.

We continue our exploration of Forest Park Il. Moving out of Forest Lawn Cemetery and back to the land of the living. We go about half a mile east down Harrison where we ecounter St. Bernadine Catholic church. It's a beautiful old church with some nice architectural ornamentation.
Across the street we find a different sort of house of worship with the Ferrara Pan Candy factory and store. For those who seek their spiritual salvation through sweet treats this is Mecca. Since they moved out here from Taylor street in the 1950's the Atomic Fireballs, Red Hots, Lemon Heads, Jawbreakers and all their delectable creations have been rolling out by the truck road.
