Little Chapel in the Woods Texas Woman's University The Little Chapel in the Woods was designed by O'Neil Ford and Arch Swank and built with unskilled labor in 1939. This National Youth Administration project brought national attention to the work of O'Neil Ford. Under the direction of Dorothy Antoinette LaSelle, hundreds of students produced stained glass windows, light fixtures, intricate mosaics, and the massive hand carved doors of this elegant building. Eleanor Roosevelt spoke at the dedication of the Little Chapel in 1939. Ford later called that this project his favorite because of the participation of the students and the NYA laborers. The Chapel is recorded in the National Register of Historic Places and is a Texas Historical Landmark. www.dentonhistory.net/Ford/Ford.html
