The popular spot for weddings and receptions was damaged during a barrage of winter storms.
It has been a wedding, worship and filming destination for 73 years, according to Wayfarers Executive Director Dan Burchett. The 100-seat, glass chapel opened in 1951 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2023. The natural sanctuary made of Palos Verdes stone, redwood, and glass was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., a son of the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, as a tree chapel that helps people feel a connection to God and nature, according to the chapel's website.
