Title:

Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California: Contour map of Filiorum Corporation property, including chapel site

Date:

May 1937

Description:

- This graphite drawing of the contour lines and topographical features of the property held by the Filiorum Corporation on the Palos Verdes estates shows the future site for Wayfarers' Chapel. The graphite drawing is partitioned with a square grid, which was possibly drawn by a member of Lloyd Wright's office, because it is in the same media as the inscription "JESTER CHAPEL", one of the early names used by the architect for the project.
