Staircase at the Loretto Chapel

by DougSchuch

1^st place

low

high

This famous staircase was built by an unknown craftsman who appeared after a 9 day novena by the nuns of the chapel. There is no record of him ever being paid for his work, and he disappeared as mysteriously as he appeared. It has three 360 degree turns and has no center support. Engineers and woodworkers are still scratching their heads as to how he did it.
