I originally visited, and posted about, the Salt Lake 27th Ward quite a while ago. However, the actual chapel was occupied, so only recently was I able to visit again and get pictures of this part of the building.
The organist faces away from the congregation, but a couple of mirrors allow them to see the conductor.
Beautiful stained glass is on three sides of the building. Close-up pictures of the windows will be posted soon! The doors in this photo go out to the corner tower.
The corner tower is a beautiful room, with stained glass on both sides and a high, arched ceiling.
My family has attended Church services at this building for 5 generations. I love it's sweet quaintness and particularly the lavender Tiffany stained glass windows. There was a gorgeous round "Rose" window where the organ is now. The Bishop of the ward at that time took it and installed it in his own home on 2nd Avenue. I miss it sooooo much. The organ is nice but the window was magnificant.
ReplyDeleteIf you happen to know which house, I would love to document the window (after asking the owner's permission)!
DeleteI would love to at least see a picture of this window. It is part of the building's history and should be remembered or ideally, reinstalled in the building somewhere for all to enjoy.
