Girard College
CHAPEL
​


GIRARD CHAPEL:

The architect's commision was to erect a Chapel which should conform in style with the other buildings on the Campus, which are chiefly of the Greek Revival, and yet be in no sense reminiscent of an architectural style associated with any existing faith — a Chapel nonsectarian throughout, welcoming all creeds and giving offense to none, a Chapel that without benefit of reredos, baldachin, altar, pulpit or other outstanding expression of any sect should devise its own dramatic climax [Walter (Thomas and Sydney Martin, 
Architectural Record, June 1933)

Girard College's Chapel conforms in style with other buildings on campus!  Its design is not reflective of an architectural style associated with any existing faith!  Built in 1933, has decorative cast aluminum doors and seats 2,400 persons !
