On a central site in Mason’s Bend, the Glass Chapel serves as a transportation stop, community gathering space, chapel for the local choral group, and distribution center for children’s summer school meals. Car windows salvaged from a Chicago scrap yard provide striking roofing material on the north side atop rammed earth walls. Anderson Harris, owner of the Butterfly House, donated the land for the center and before his recent death tended to its garden.
