There is a winding wooden staircase in a Chapel in Santa Fe, NM. I've seen it.

The design was innovative for the time and some of the design considerations still perplex experts today.

When the Loretto Chapel was completed in 1878, there was no way to access the choir loft twenty-two feet above. Carpenters were called in to address the problem, but they all concluded access to the loft would have to be via ladder as a staircase would interfere with the interior space of the small Chapel.

Legend says that to find a solution to the seating problem, nine days of prayer commenced and on that ninth day a man appeared at the Chapel with a donkey and a toolbox looking for work. Months later, the elegant circular staircase was completed, and the carpenter disappeared without pay or thanks.

Inspiring!

Beautiful!!! It's amazing that Man can create such beauty and at the same time be so hateful to one another...bummer
It is amazing what some can create and I do give them huge credit for it. I posted this one back in October in the thread I made when we went to Arkansas but some might not have seen it there. It's a chapel down a small walkway out in the woods. So much detail and beauty that you'd never expect out there.

Spectacular! We would see them sometimes when I was a kid in Calgary but nothing as bold or dramatic as what you’re seeing where you are. Not even close. Beautiful.

If you don't already, you should get to know MISFITOY (Sid). He is in NC (pretty sure) as well. You have a nice truck BTW. If you meet him tell him it's his turn for lunch:clap:
