boars and fury

In 1960 architect Philip Johnson created a paved court above which floats a fifty-foot high lobed dome, covered with cedar shingles. The non-denominational church was commissioned by Jane Blaffer Owen, a New Harmony resident passionate about preserving nature. Johnson and Owen envisioned a church where the only roof large enough to encompass a world of worshippers was the sky. The church was dedicated in May of 1960.
