St. John’s Chapel in Columbia, SD, is a one-story, 2,200 square-foot structure that features a clean, white “clapboard” facade with stained glass windows and a steeple topped by a simple, lighted white cross. Visually, it resembles other community churches that have historically anchored small towns across the Midwest. However, unlike the stick-frame structures favored in the past, this chapel has a precast concrete facade that combines a classic look and feel with modern durability.
