The Tiny Monastery

 


Looking at all those old posts from 10 or more years ago brought back lots of memories.  I posted a photo of this place back in 2010.  It was one of those odd discoveries.  It's located in a residential neighborhood on a very quiet street and it's tiny, the size of a one car garage.  However, it actually is a monastery.  Well, the monastery chapel I think.  There is an actual living facility next to it but completely surrounded by a high wall.











As you can see, the chapel is still locked up behind a chain-link fence.  

This was fun to find once again.  I had to drive around several quiet streets before I found it hidden away.

The world needs more hidden gems, more flexible zoning would really help.

That must have been fun searching for it again, Sharon. I'm glad it is still there.

The monastery is kind of cute.

It hasn't changed much. The bushes on either side aren't even much bigger.

Interesting! And probably historic?
