Loretto Chapel


Fascinating work of carpentry. There are no center or exterior supports.
The story goes the nuns need a staircase to get to the choir area. A mysterious man showed up and built the staircase in six months using only a hammer, saw and carpenters square.
After he was finished he left with out charging the sisters and without leaving his name.
