Chapel of the Chimes (Oakland, California)

The present building dates largely from a 1928 redevelopment based on the designs of the architect Julia Morgan.

The chapel originates with a crematory built in 1909 by the California Crematorium Association on the site of a trolley car station; the old structure still has train schedules on the wall.

Architect Aaron Green, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, subsequently contributed six additions over 24 years, including mausoleums.

[2] The building maintains its original functions and also serves as the venue for annual music festivals on the winter and summer solstices.

[5] It features over 40 musicians performing on unique instruments, or compositions designed for the event.
