The Rothko Chapel at 3900
Yupon Street was created by John and Dominique de Menil as "a sacred place open to all people, every day".
It's a short walk from here to the celebrated Rothko Chapel (3900
Yupon; 713-524-9839; RothkoChapel.org), an austere 1971 sanctuary hung with 14 enormous paintings created by Mark Rothko specifically for this space.
It turned out we were close, and after several minutes we were on
Yupon, crossed West Alabama, and came to a stop sign at Sul Ross.
