Pettit Memorial Chapel – Belvidere, Illinois
One of the few chapels ever designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1978. The chapel is an early example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s famed Prairie style. It is the only work of the specific type, a structure meant for a cemetery setting, Wright ever created.
Emma Pettit commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design the Pettit Chapel as a memorial to her deceased husband, Dr. William H. Pettit. The building was built in 1907 for US$3,000 and stands next to the grave of Mr. Pett.
