This old western style chapel is located at the base of the Superstition Mountains. The chapel used to reside at the Apacheland Movie Ranch until it was donated to the Superstition Mountain Museum.
The chapel was taken down piece by piece, nail by nail, has been reconstructed on the museum ground. The Apacheland Movie Ranch Museum is a special museum of western motion pictures and television that were filmed there over a 45 year period, including “Charro,” which starred Elvis Presley. Among some of the better known motion pictures filmed at Apacheland were: The Ballad of Cable Hogue, Arizona Raiders ,The Haunted, The Gambler II and Blind Justice. Television series included Have Gun Will Travel, and Wanted Dead or Alive.

Apacheland is located on the grounds of the Superstition Mountain Museum on the Apache Trail in Arizona. Since 1959, it has hosted many western movies and television shows. It was moved in literally hundreds of pieces to the museum’s grounds and has been reconstructed almost entirely of it’s original materials.

Elvis Chapel Facts:
“The Elvis Memorial Chapel is a movie prop that was used in the 1969 Elvis Presley western “Charro!” — the only movie Elvis made in which he did not sing, but played a strictly dramatic role. During the movie shoot, a specially-made steeple was constructed and put on the chapel so that it could be blown off during an explosion central to the movie’s plot.
It’s a survivor of two fires: one in 1969 and one in 2004, which decimated Apacheland Movie Ranch. The Elvis Memorial Chapel was donated to the Superstition Mountain Museum by Sue and Ed Birmingham.”

This image was developed in Lightroom and finished in Photoshop from a 2 stop under exposed image. It was tonemapped in Photomatic Pro then exported to Photoshop where a layer with mask was texturized and areas to be clear were painted out of the mask.
