The Wayfarers Chapel is arguably the most cherished institution on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and certainly its most iconic. The glass chapel was designed by architect Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright, and christened on Mother’s Day in 1951. When heavy rainfall caused landslides that forced the closure of Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes, congregants and couples with upcoming weddings weren’t the only ones affected. The indefinite closure also blocked public access to one of L.A.’s most iconic buildings. City officials say the land where the chapel is located has been moving around 7 inches per week for the past few months. Compare that to the period of October 2021 to October 2022, when the land moved at a rate of around 0.08 inches a week.  That acceleration has fueled a sense of earnestness regarding the disassembly and storage of the iconic building, which is beloved by thousands, many of whom have personal connections to the property. I was commissioned to document the dismantling of the chapel using time-lapse cameras and drone images.  The land movement was obvious mainly in the parking lot and sidewalks with land bulking as much as three feet.
