Yale Ward: Chapel Details

 This is a view of the north chapel wall:



Also along the north wall is this carving by Torleif Knaphus, which pictures Joseph receiving the plates.

Yale Ward: Stained Glass Details

I took several pictures of the beautiful stained glass window at the front of the chapel.




The window was donated by the Christensen family, in memory of their infant son who had recently passed away.



There's an oil lamp above the image of Christ.






This window is incredibly detailed, and one of the most beautiful windows in the Church. I'm glad the building, along with the window, has been so lovingly preserved.

Yale Ward: Interior

This is a beautiful chapel. The pews are original to the building, and the carpet and fabrics are all a deep red. At the front of the chapel is a stunning stained glass window of Christ knocking at the door; I took several pictures of it that will be shown in a future post.


At the back of the chapel is a glass wall that looks into the lobby. Opposite the lobby is the cultural hall.



It has a detailed molding pattern that goes around the stage and the walls of the hall.

Yale Ward

Built from 1924-1925, the Yale Ward meetinghouse recently underwent an extensive renovation to preserve the building. This was significant, because the building only houses one ward.



This is the back of the stained glass window in the chapel. I will post interior pictures next.
