Special architectural features of the Herzstein Memorial Plaza include the dramatic stone columned entrance to The Lower Chapel, an underground stone room (also referred to as Kafe Kaffeine), beneath the Edythe Bates Old Chapel, flanked by two rushing waterfalls. A handsome figure of Saint Boniface gazes down on the Herzstein Plaza from above the double wooden doors.
