Description
Picture taken late in the evening as the light was fading.
The Yosemite Chapel, located in Yosemite Valley, became listed on the prestigious National Register of Historic Places in 1973 based on its simple architecture that was representative of a particularly fine example of the early chapels constructed in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
In the spring of 1878, the California State Commissioners of the Yosemite Grant received an application from the Rev. J.K. McLean and others, representing an association known as the Sunday School Union, for permission to erect in the Yosemite Valley a chapel, which should be used for undenominational purposes. The application was granted, and a handsome, tasteful building was erected the following year near where the present Four Mile trailhead is located today.
Proceeds from the sale of this photograph goes to help orphaned and abandoned children in Colombia South America.
