I originally posted exterior photos of this building in 2018; now I got some interior photos.
The carvings and moldings on the building's exterior continue into the chapel's space. Carved geometric shapes line the chapel walls--these are largely where windows used to be. (All of the windows were originally covered in renovations; two have been restored.) Carvings also run along the ceiling. On the stand are two small doors; one led to a closet, and the other led to a bishop's office (now used as a classroom).
The cultural hall has some details around the stage as well. In the 1990s, the building received a large addition behind the cultural hall that was sensitive to the building's original architecture.
I recently saw a for sale sign at a Blackfoot Idaho chapel you posted about a while back.
ReplyDeleteOh no! You're right. It looks like it no longer houses any wards. I really liked that one, too.

ReplyDeleteA unique item about the floor plan is that many chapels during the first half of the 20th century had the cultural hall at the side of the chapel. This one has it behind the chapel, giving space for a large number of people with direct view of the pulpit.
