Description
A neo-Gothic design, the chapel's limestone walls, repetitive arches, balustrade parapets, buttresses and extensive use of stained glass follow patterns of early 1900s religious architecture. The chapel's 73 foot transept windows, depicting Temperance, Truth, Courage and Tolerance, are among the tallest in the world. The chapel is topped off with a 113 foot tall fleche. Rising from the transept roof, the steel-framed fleche is clad in lead-coated copper, consisting of an incredible amount of detail.
