It started in 1909, and was in disrepair after around 1950's until revival. Richard Kerens, a wealthy person of railroad base built it to memorialize his mother. He died in 1916. The chandelier has 7511 crystal pieces and 102 chains holding it. Around 1960's the group got together and raised funds to bring back to its original condition. The stained glass windows are new, but replicate an era of the past. It was to be a bit a a take off of Sophia in Turkey, but a lot of Hungary influence is here due to the locals being of that origin. The whole building inside and out makes you feel humble and reverent.  If you are planning a Eureka Springs vacation give the Angel at Rose Hall a call,your Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast and your Eureka Springs Wedding Chapel, the best place for Eureka Springs Lodging and Eureka Springs Weddings.
