The Little Chapel in the Woods

More about the book

As part of Franklin D. Roosevelt?s Works Program Administration building projects, The Little Chapel in the Woods was constructed in Denton, Texas, towards the end of the Great Depression with the help of 300 students from the Texas State College for Women and young men of the National Youth Administration. A series of evaluative essays place the Chapel in the international and regional context. Reproductions from the Alexander Architectural Archive at The University of Texas at Austin, School of Architecture, provide a detailed insight into the careful design of this much admired manifesto of a regional architecture by O?Neil Ford and Arch Swank.
