Noah's Ark upside down. I think someone made a similar comment about another building on this site somewhere, but it absolutely puts me in mind of a large wooden boat.

The word for this area - nave - comes from the Latin NAVIS - a ship...

I like the weird rainbow effect the lens flare gave off in this shot. Also, the intricate woodwork of the ceiling is beautiful. It's sad to know this place no longer exists. Unfortunately, the US abandoning its architectural history in beautiful forgotten places like this.

Gorgeous work, a moment frozen in the same stone hewn from the chapel itself.

They had told us a story in Sunday school that the reason the Churches looked like the upside down ship was that the early settlers would use their ship, turned upside down to make their meeting place/church.

It is an "Amphibious" church. If the flood waters started, it would roll over as the water level rose. "Lo, an Ark!"

Thank you for these beautiful photos. I just found this site and have sat here for an hour looking and crying. I attended Eden Hall for 4 years and spent much time in this beautiful chapel. There used to be large wooden fleur-de-lis on the end of each pew...they were carved an gorgeous. I wonder when they were removed. Thank you again for capturing what was left of this heavenly space.

So sad the song that says good-bye. I went to Eden Hall and knelt in that chapel every morning for three years. Thanks for the memories!
