Binghampton Ward (Tucson, AZ) Exterior Details

I was in Tucson recently and finally got a chance to visit this historic building. It is beautiful and fits in perfectly with the architecture of the city. A previous post examining this building can be found here.

Binghampton Ward (Tucson, AZ)

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.
