THE WAYFARERS' CHAPEL Portuguese Bend Rancho Palos Verdes CA RPPC B8

Description: The 100-seat church was designed by Lloyd Wright (son of Frank Lloyd Wright) in the late 1940s and was built between 1949 and 1951, at a cost of $25,000.[1] Additions were built in later years, including a tower and a visitor center, the latter of which had been lost in a landslide during the 1960s.[2] Because of its scenic location, the church is popular for weddings.[3] In 1999, the chapel hosted 800 weddings.[1]In February 2024, the chapel’s leadership announced "the closure of Wayfarers Chapel and its surrounding property due to the accelerated land movement in our local area".[4] The closure resulted in the cancellation of 175 events scheduled for the following eight months.[5] By April 2024, panes of glass in the chapel had broken, the foundation suffered significant damage, and walkways around the site were cracked and jagged. Officials said that they will not be able to restore the chapel on their property and are considering relocation.[6] In May, the decision was made to begin to carefully deconstruct the structure in order to preserve as much of the original materials as possible, in collaboration with historic preservation experts and the National Park Service.[7] SEE MULTIPLE SCANS OF ITEM.
