Fay Jones Timothy Hursley

Euine Fay Jones was an American architect and designer. An apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright during his professional career, Jones is the only one of Wright’s disciples to have received the AIA Gold Medal (1990), the highest honor awarded by the American Institute of Architects. His Thorncrown Chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, only 20 years after it was built, in recognition of its architectural significance.

Jones used Frank Lloyd Wright’s principles but made unique buildings. Jones’ most famous buildings are the Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas (images 8-10); the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel in Bella Vista (images 3-5), Arkansas, the Pinecote Pavilion at the Crosby Arboretum in Picayune (images1-2), Mississippi, and the Garvan Garden Pavilion in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Also included in this photoset; Pine Eagle Chapel (image 6) and Skyrose Chapel (image 7). These buildings are simple and transcendental creations of wood. [text via]
