The earliest chapel still standing in Tucson, AZ, is the Binghampton Ward. It was built in the 1930s.
I'm still looking to visit this chapel eventually, but it's too unique to not highlight. It's built in the Colonial Revival Style.

The interior of the chapel itself is also beautiful. It has exposed beams along the ceiling. A circular window depicting Christ praying in Gethsemane is found at the front of the chapel.

The chapel also used to have 4 stained glass windows on each side of the chapel. Unfortunately, these were replaced during remodeling in the 1960s. Apparently, members took these stained glass windows and put them in their homes.
