Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Built in 1933-1938, this Gothic Revival-style chapel was designed by Charles Klauder to serve as a chapel for the University of Pittsburgh, and a memorial to Anna Margaretha Heinz, with funds for the chapel’s construction being donated by John Heinz upon his death in 1919. The building features a French Gothic-inspired exterior with a metal spire, gabled and hipped slate roof, limestone cladding, buttresses, a polygonal nave and apse flanking a central gabled wing, a recessed gothic arched main entrance portal with decorative reliefs and carved wooden doors, gothic arched stained glass windows with decorative tracery, pinnacles and tracery on the parapets, and low aisles flanking the main nave. Inside, the chapel features decorative woodwork, a soaring gothic vaulted ceiling, stone staircases, stained glass windows, large pendant lights, spiral staircases, a narthex with a wooden screen wall at the entrance to the sanctuary, and an ornate wooden altar. The building is a contributing structure in the Schenley Farms Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. |
