The 16 beams and other elements from the National Historic, Lloyd Wright-designed oasis will be stored outside on leased city-owned land
All the glass has been removed and workers are now taking down the 16 redwood beams that comprise the iconic Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes. The beams will be stored the same way they existed for decades — outside. The National Historic Landmark was closed in Feb. due to land movement on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. By Monday, June 24, the 16 beams that have held up the historic Wayfarers Chapel for seven decades will be on a pallet headed for an off-site, outdoor storage facility.

Since February, Burchett visits the chapel site about three-times-per week, he said. And each time, the enormity of the situation is always shocking.“In a matter of weeks,” said Burchett, “the land will be completely cleared and we’ll be future focused.”Leadership has gone from managing a profit center as a sought-after wedding venue to spearheading a massive fundraising campaign.
Wayfarers leadership is looking for community support in both small ways and big ways, said Burchett. Wayfarers, after all, was designed to be a place of “reunion with nature” so that “everyone and anyone could come commune with nature,” Burchett said.
