Chapel of the Holy Cross

Iconic Catholic chapel built into the mesas of Sedona, Arizona, designed by architect and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, from the firm of Anshen & Allen. The chapel is built on Coconino National Forest land; the late Senator Barry Goldwater assisted Staude in obtaining a Special Use permit. The construction supervisor was Fred Courkos, who built the chapel in 18 months at a cost of US$300,000. The chapel was completed in 1956.
