OUR CHAPEL

 

 

The beauty of the Chapel is enhanced greatly by the exquisite Tiffany stained glass windows, which were rescued from the fire that destroyed the church in September, 1933.

The Chapel will comfortably seat 140 persons, and is designed along similar lines to the sanctuary.  The beautiful Tiffany stained glass windows can be seen behind the Altar and along the right side of the Chapel wall.

These windows were originally installed in the sanctuary of the church in 1911 and moved to their present location in 1934-35.  They were designed and originally installed by the Horace I. Phipps Company of Boston, Massachusetts. 

Stained glass, such as is used in these windows, is no longer produced.  They are perfect specimens of a rare school of art and are now worth thousands of dollars.  Protective storm windows shield them.  In 1972 high intensity lights were installed outside in order that their beauty may be more fully appreciated after dark.
