The Pine Valley chapel, located just north of St. George and seen in this photo from 1962, was built in 1868. According to the Web site for the St. George Temple Visitors Center, it is the oldest LDS chapel still in continuous use. The chapel hosts a Sunday sacrament meeting and is open for tours seven days a week. Its architect was Ebenezer Bryce, a shipbuilder who, according to lds.org, built the attic to "resemble an upside-down ship hull." Said Bryce, "If a flood should come, it would float, and if a wind came strong enough to blow it over, it would still never crash to pieces."
