The Historic Lakewood Memorial Chapel

This event takes place in the beautiful and historic Lakewood Memorial Chapel. This stunning building was built in 1910 by architect Harry Wild Jones, and is modeled after the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul. It is one of the only examples of Byzantine style chapels in the US and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Click here for more information on the Lakewood Memorial Chapel.

• All seating is in fixed pews – there is some room in the back of the venue for a wheelchair but it is limited.
