Historic Wayfarers Chapel to Be Carefully Disassembled Due to Severe Landslide Damage

The iconic glass-and-wood structure, designed by Lloyd Wright, faces unprecedented land movement threatening its preservation.

Preservation experts will document and move the chapel's materials to a safe location for future reconstruction.
Accelerated landslide activity has caused significant structural damage, making immediate deconstruction necessary.
The chapel, a renowned wedding venue and filming site, closed in February due to safety concerns.
Efforts are underway to find a geologically stable site nearby for rebuilding the chapel.
Fundraising initiatives are planned to support the estimated $20 million needed for the reconstruction project.
