St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel, Historical chapel in Ojai, California
The St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel exhibits Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architectural styles with arches and traditional religious design elements throughout the structure.
Architects Richard Requa and Frank Mead designed the chapel in 1918 to replace a wooden church that had been destroyed by fire in Ojai, California.
The structure now functions as the Ojai Valley Museum, housing collections of pioneer artifacts, Chumash Native American baskets, and local historical photographs.
The museum and research library maintain regular operating hours, providing access to historical documents, cultural exhibitions, and educational programs about regional heritage.
The chapel received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 after the City of Ojai purchased it from the Catholic Church for preservation.
