A Church with a Cannon: A Richmond Landmark


Next to the grounds of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is a beautiful little gingerbread chapel. Like most church sanctuaries, it contains many stained glass windows. But this chapel has four striking, rare windows that are beautiful in their folk-art, yet modern simplicity. They were crafted and installed in the late 1800s to honor veterans of the Civil War. Timeless and beautiful.
