Lakeshore Chapel in Winter
Louie Gelin
watercolor, no date
the story | It is said that this summertime chapel (1904), at Campbell Road and Lakeshore Drive, was invented at a businessman’s lunch meeting at the coffee shop of Marshal Field’s department store in Chicago. Architect Harry Walker, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, provided its simple design in the Arts & Crafts manner. Lore also has it that funding for the building was begun by penny collections made by Sunday School students. Lakeshore Chapel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
the artist | Louie Gelin (1896-1972), born in New York, worked as a commercial artist in advertising in Chicago and later moved to Saugatuck.
