Landslide forces dismantling of Wayfarers Chapel, Frank Lloyd Wright's son's design, in Southern California.

A landslide is forcing the dismantling of Wayfarers Chapel, an iconic Southern California church designed by one of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright's sons. Located in Rancho Palos Verdes, the chapel, known as "The Glass Church," was built among soaring redwoods and sweeping Pacific Ocean views. The earth beneath the chapel is moving at an unprecedented 2 feet or more each month, threatening the structure's stability. Intended to celebrate the natural world, the chapel is now being destroyed by it.
