Pine Valley Chapel and Tithing Office

The Pine Valley Chapel features a wooden structure with a distinctive curved ceiling, incorporating shipbuilding techniques in its architectural design without metal nails.

Scottish immigrant Ebenezer Bryce constructed this church in 1868 using his shipbuilding expertise to create a structure that resembles an upturned vessel.

The building combines New England church architecture with local materials, particularly Ponderosa pine wood from surrounding forests of Pine Valley.

The chapel maintains regular religious services, with guided tours available during specific seasons except during Sunday morning worship times.

The construction method employs wooden pegs and rawhide instead of metal nails, while the attic structure mirrors the design of a ship's hull.
