Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California: Elevations and sections for chapel cornerstone and time capsule

12 June 1949

- These drawings are for a time capsule in the wall of Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California. The time capsule is referred to as a "vault" in the inscription on this drawing and in the dedicatory inscription on the cornerstone. The shape and disposition of the inscription plaque is based on the equilateral parallelogram grid unit of the chapel. The grid unit is inscribed on several orthographic drawings (eg. DR1987:0530) and is described by Lloyd Wright in the architect's statement (DR1987:0869:011:009). A small elevation shows the cornerstone in situ.
