Springville, Utah


A chapel from around the late nineties here; the church was settling into the cookie-cutter architecture of the 2000s,  but the steeple and steeple room are relatively special.
Two faux windows, tinted in a sort of purply hue, a copper-clad, svelte steeple, and more detail and care than those pasted onto preformed chapels these days.
Too bad that attention to form isn't adhered to currently, in either the construction of LDS houses of worship or the brand of religion professed within them.

Delta, Utah























This design seems to crop up quite a bit in medium-sized rural town around Utah; a nice design with some feeling of craft and grace.
That steeple room has actual windows and light coming from all four sides; I wonder if there's a way to get in there. I'm sure someone has to go inside and clean the glass inside that bell-less space...
At least it is a space into which some light enters and exits again, rather than a fiberglass void.
