NYC - Columbia University: St. Paul's Chapel
Made by wallyg
St. Paul's Chapel is a small nondenominational chapel set within a landscaped area on the campus of Columbia University campus, just east of . Designed by Howells & Stokes from 1904-1907 as a gift of Olivia and Caroline Stokes, in memory of James Stokes and his wife Caroline Phelps. Built in Byzantine style with elements of Italian Renaissance detail, the church bears the inscription, For the Church of God. A brick building with limestone trim, the edifice is highlighted with terra cotta ornament and ornamental bronze carefully integrated into a harmonious ecclesiastical design. The church is built with a Greek cross plan, surmounted by a high drummed dome over the crossing and its four columned portico with a Florentine gable. Flanking the low rise of steps leading into the main porch are two handsome bronze torcheres. The unusual columns of the vaulted portico instead of having classical capitals are toppped by winged cherubs. Large bronze doors, handsomely enframed, provide a fitting entrance. At the east end, the building terminates in a semi-circular apse. The north and south transept walls are pierced by large, arched windows. The twenty four windows in the drum of the dome are adorned with th arms of notable old New York families, whose names are associated with the history of the University, and include such prominent names as Philip Van Cortlandt, Abraham Peyster, Gerard Beekman, DeWitt Clinton, and William C. Rhinelander. Artwork inside the Chapel includes three stained glass windows handcrafted by John LaFarge and a Peace Altar designed by George Nakashima. St. Paul's Chapel designated a landmark by New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966.
Under the scaffolding
Made by carpe icthus
Transitory structure meets an ice-encrusted solid. Maybe a nothing shot, but in a strange way, this represents my biggest thought-problem for the week. What of me is scaffolding? What is stone?
