Pettit Memorial Chapel
Pettit Memorial Chapel, Prairie School chapel in Belvidere, US.
The Pettit Memorial Chapel features horizontal lines, wide eaves, and natural light through its T-shaped structure within Belvidere Cemetery.
Emma Glasner Pettit commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design this memorial chapel in 1906, which was completed in 1907 for 3,000 dollars.
The chapel represents the Prairie School architectural movement through its emphasis on horizontal lines and connection with the surrounding landscape.
Visitors need to contact cemetery staff in advance to arrange interior access, as the building maintains limited public opening hours.
The structure includes an interior fireplace and was designed with a fountain and pool near its entrance, unusual features for a memorial chapel.
