Description: Webinar
The much-loved Wayfarers Chapel, built between 1949-51, is an iconic Modernist place designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr. Designated as a National Historic Landmark in late 2023, Wayfarers is a special place and unlike anything else, and visiting it was an experience. Yet in May careful disassembly began on Wayfarers, and by early July the entire structure was crated up for safekeeping. This was in response to a landslide that began moving at a rapid pace, prompting the closure of Wayfarers in February. Moving at a rate of approximately six-to-nine inches per week, the landslide underneath Wayfarers was increasingly causing damage and total destruction was inevitable without immediate intervention. Meet the people involved in the effort to save Wayfarers before it was too late, and learn about how it was disassembled and future plans to re-erect Wayfarers, and how people can help support.
