Description
Church Of the transfiguration -Grand Teton National Park Wyoming
The chapel complex is composed of the chapel itself, an entrance canopy that incorporates a small bell tower, and a storage shed. The chapel and accessory buildings were designed by C.B. Loomis in a rustic style, also called Western Craftsman. The entrance canopy aligns the approach on the desired axis to the Cathedral Group and provides shelter to the chain-operated bell.[4] Access to the chapel is by boardwalk, leading to a beveled plank door with decorative ironwork. The 22-foot (6.7 m) by 50-foot (15 m) T-shaped chapel has exposed log interior walls with stained glass windows on either side.[5] Behind the altar on the chapel's axis, a picture window that would be anachronistic in another setting frames a spectacular view that substitutes for a stained glass composition. A sacristy stands to one side.[6]
History
The chapel was built to serve guests and employees of the dude ranches that stretched north of Jackson along the base of the Teton Range. The land was donated by Maud Noble, owner of nearby Menor's Ferry, predating the establishment of Grand Teton National Park in 1929 and its expansion into the Moose area in 1950. The design was based on Our Father's House in Ethete on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Construction materials, labor and funds were provided by local ranchers.[6] It played a primary role in the movie "Spencer�s Mountain", which was filmed in Jackson Hole in 1963, and featured Henry Fonda and Maureen O�Hara.
The chapel was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1980[1] The somewhat larger Chapel of the Sacred Heart was built in the park in similar rustic style near Signal Mountain by the Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church of Jackson in 1958.

Kathleen, Beautiful photograph captured perfectly in black and white. This photo I think had no other choice but to be done in black and white. A little bit of a gothic feel to it, with the black and white church and the cross standing out as the clouds move in. Great capture of the thick bushes and tall grass in the foreground, along with great detail on this old wooden church. The background is fantastic with the mountains and the sky with those threatening clouds moving in. Fantastic photo, voted, google, tweet and FB promoted along with choosing this photo as the Image that caught my eye today in The Art Shoppe Cafe promotional thread
