Goin’ to the chapel…
Well maybe not to get married. At least in not this deconsecrated and now renovated little brick chapel in West Hobart, Tasmania. This sturdy early 1900′s building has been transformed with a contemporary warehouse vibe but the chapel shell remains as does the simple utilitarian feel. It was plain and functional in the praise of the Lord when it was a church and now it is minimal and functional in the service of the owners.
