Forest Dale Ward: Stained Glass Details

Three ornate windows are located at the back of the chapel (the front of the building), but they are surprisingly difficult to photograph. They are above the lobby. You can't see them very well in the chapel unless you're farther away (otherwise they get covered up by the clock and lobby wall). Basically, I had to stand a long ways away, zoom in all the way, and get the best pictures I could, but the quality definitely suffered as a result--I apologize!


The middle window is a beehive; the ones on the sides are sego lilies.






These are beautiful windows, and they're probably meant to be appreciated more from the outside (when the windows are illuminated from within the building) than from the inside (since you can only really see them from the rostrum, and not very well at that).

Forest Dale Ward: Interior

There's a lot of significant features in this chapel--stained glass, intricate moldings, and some good woodwork among them.


Of course, the most unique part is the open dome, which lets light come in from directly above.



Not a bad view.

Forest Dale Ward

Built in 1903, the Forest Dale Ward chapel is one of the most unique in the world. I love the dome that gives character to the building.

The sign says 1902--I believe that's when construction started. Interior photos will be coming shortly.
