ReplyDeleteThank you Janet for all your hard work and dedication on this great achievement!
ReplyDeleteGood work. Now how about the trees? In 5 years will it be an old building in the middle of a parking lot with cars surrounding it?
ReplyDeleteMost of the surrounding trees are protected as part of the Landmark. Except a few that are shown behind the chapel were cut, with a permit by staff out of fear they could fall.
