Has anyone ever been moved by the sheer beauty of a building? I am curious because, one of the most beautiful buildings in the whole of San Antonio is rapidly being consumed by a raging fire.
The main building of Our Lady of the Lake University is being consumed by an inferno that is believed to have started as an electrical fire. I was only in the building once as young child but, to this day I remember the beauty of the building and the splendor of its architecture. I also recall the joy and happiness my grandfather derived from showing me the building.
The only portion of the main building still untouched by fire is the university chapel. The university has connections with my family dating back several generations. My parents attended the university and were married in the chapel. My grandfather and his brothers were involved in renovating the chapel in the 1960's
Fortunately the building was largely empty and the members of the cleaning crew who were inside were able to escape the fire.
