Description
A wide-angle, low-angle exterior photograph capturing a series of four vertical "dalle de verre" (faceted glass) windows set within the chapel’s side elevation, illustrating their rhythmic placement along the outer wall.
The image features:
* Window Sequence: From left to right, the array documents the exterior faces of the "Mother of Perpetual Help," "Queen of Paracletes," "Mother of Good Counsel," and "Our Lady of Carmel" windows. From the outside, the dark mortar matrices and muted glass slabs present a unified, sculptural appearance against the facade.
* Architectural Design Elements: The windows are set at regular intervals into a smooth, light-gray stucco wall. Protruding dark wooden viga beam ends extend from the roofline above each window bay, incorporating traditional Southwest architectural motifs into the Mid-Century Modern structure.
* Landscape & Exterior Frame: Dense green evergreen bushes line the base of the wall, framing the lower sills of the recessed windows against a vibrant blue sky with scattered clouds.
* Exterior Preservation Record: This wide shot serves as a comprehensive record of the exterior wall condition, window alignment, and surrounding structural context prior to the chapel's decommissioning.
