Thorncrown

 The predecessor to the Anthony Chapel at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs - the Thorncrown Chapel.  This is the one that was first built and first famous.  It inhabits the 4th rung on the American Institute of Architecture's list of the best designs of the 20th century.

While certainly an equally impressive structure, I prefer the Anthony Chapel.  Its warmer, wood colors are more appealing to me, and the way it's surrounded by gorgeous ferns doesn't hurt either.
