And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

E. Fay Jones, a Frank Lloyd Wright protégé, designed a very simple, but fantastic modern chapel in the Arkansas’ Ozark Mountains. This June marks the wooden chapel’s 35th anniversary.
Genius! It's hard to design a unique church and make it uplifting and beautiful, but this fellow did the job.
I spent some time in Eureka Springs and Mountain Home Arkansas 30 years ago but never heard of this place. The Ozarks are fabulous. I may be headed back in a few months.
Nice reminder.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is my neck of the woods...
ReplyDeleteThat design is similar to the Holy Family Shrine near Gretna, NE. Easily seen from I-80, it is a private Catholic endeavor supported by donations.
