Egyptian Building
Chino Hills, CA
The Egyptian Building was built in The Commons Shopping Center from 2019-2020. There were plans to use it as the Farou Food restaurant but that never happened. The building was modeled after the Temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt. For more, see this website. [map]

Desert Christ Park
Yucca Valley, CA
Desert Christ Park features more than 40 statues depicting scenes from Christ's life. The statues were created by Frank Antone Martin from steel-reinforced concrete. The park was dedicated in 1951. I believe the Rock Chapel was built in 1954. It was designed by Frank Garske and built by him and Ed Garver. Many of the statues were damaged by an earthquake in 1992. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]
