Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel is a chapel located in Bella Vista, Arkansas, designed by E. Fay Jones and constructed in 1988.
Architecture
The design recalls the Prairie School of architecture popularized by Frank Lloyd Wright, with whom Jones had apprenticed. Jones used steel and glass to create a series of Gothic arches that run the length of the chapel.[1]
