Springville Fourth Ward: Stained Glass Detail

The Springville Fourth Ward also has lots of stained glass throughout the building, not just in the chapel.

Most of the doors have glass above them, and each one is unique.

Some other rooms have stained glass, too. This is the stained glass in the Primary Room, which is the same as the ones in the Relief Society room.

Springville Fourth Ward: Carving Details

I was unable to find out who did the art in the chapel. If anyone happens to know who did it, I would love to know.

There are four different panels. The first one (near the back of the chapel) is the "Exhortation of Moroni":

The next is "Joseph Receives the Plates":

The next one is "The Three Witnesses":

And the final one (closest to the front) is "The Eight Witnesses":

All of the carvings are lovely. It was wonderful to be able to see it.

Springville Fourth Ward: Chapel Interior

Besides the beautiful arched roof, two things make this chapel distinctive--it's stained glass windows on one side:

 

 

And some unique, colored carvings on the other that depict Joseph Smith receiving the gold plates, the Three Witnesses, and the Eight Witnesses. 

I will provide close-up pictures of each of these carvings in my next post.

This building was completed in 1936. I haven't seen another chapel that looks even remotely similar in its structure.

You'll notice that the only main difference now is the unsightly vent above the left window, and the plainer doors.

The interior has lots of stained glass and some carvings in the chapel. I will post pictures of those items soon.
