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.

I love this blog. Thank you for documenting all these great old buildings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this with me. So fascinating to me where my father, grandparents and many relatives attended. 👍
ReplyDeleteI went to this building as a kid and loved how unique it is. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a child. I grew up in that neighborhood where the chapel was. I lived there till I was an adult, but one of the fun childhood memories that I have is on the south end of the property was a swimming pool. I still it many fond memories of that swimming pool in the middle of the summer in Tucson, Arizona.
