Garden Park Ward: Chapel Interior

The building's main lobby is just past the entrance. On the right is the chapel; glass allows members to view and hear the services from here.


The chapel itself is lovely. The ceiling is pastel blue; simple stained glass windows line the walls, and there is a nice pipe organ (behind the screen).


The chapel also has individual seating instead of pews--a particularly rare feature for an LDS chapel. We'll look closer at the seats, windows, and paintings in my next post.

Garden Park Ward

Built in 1938-39, the Garden Park Ward is unique because of its large and spacious grounds, which includes the Red Butte Creek. Members of the ward and stake often hold wedding receptions here.



Even without the grounds, the chapel itself is quite unique and has some really beautiful features. We'll be examining this building over the next few posts.
