Chapel of St. Basil


At the end of the Academic Mall on the campus of the University of St. Thomas sits the architecturally contrasting Chapel of St. Basil. Very geometric in form, the tent-like flap visible to the right of the chapel is actually the entrance to the building.

I’ve always found this building in the Neartown area to be one of Houston’s more interesting structures.

  4. But for the Crucifix, it looks like mosque because of the dome. It's pretty, though.
