Spiller 9 E. Fay. Jones












 This is the Thorncrown Chapel.  E. Fay Jones was a professor at the university of Arkansas at Fayetteville when Jim Reed asked him to design the chapel.On July 10, 1980 the Chapel was opened near Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  This chapel has won numerous awards including placing fourth on a list of the top buildings of the twentieth century according to members of the American Institute of Architects. 

I love this building.  I love the openness of it.  It is located in a gorgeous area that only emphasizes the building and all of its windows.  The building is almost simple and yet it is complex.  The door to the chapel is especially suiting.  I wish I could describe this building better, because my words aren't it enough justice.
