Landslide forces closure of iconic Southern California chapel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s son

Urban forestry workers remove branches from a redwood tree as they prepare to cut it down next to the Wayfarers Chapel, a sanctuary by architect Lloyd Wright, also known as "The Glass Church," in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., Wednesday, May 15, 2024.
