The 1916 "The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine" published by the Cathedral League, as well as the 1923 "Rider's New York City" attribute them to Clayton and Bell, in London. While it may be termed the British Chapel today, that was not the original designation. And at one point, by the 1920's, it was called the "Scots Chapel."

One of the architects was Christopher Grant LaFarge, the son of noted artist John LaFarge who was married to a granddaughter of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry of Rhode Island. Oliver's younger brother, Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry of New York City, was the grandfather of August Belmont who gave the adjacent chapel of St Saviour as a memorial to his late wife. I question the fact that John LaFarge designed the windows as he died in 1911 at age 75. The Cathedral guidebook (1920,1965) I have states that the windows were the "work of Wilbur Herbert Burnham of Boston."Alexander Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03640254865882903530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-8200998847858807412020-07-10T15:15:51.953-07:002020-07-10T15:15:51.953-07:00This chapel used to have furniture such as pews an...This chapel used to have furniture such as pews and there were candelabra, What happened to them. I do like the Keith Haring triptych being used as a raredos, though. I have loved Keith's work for years, an artist taken from us way too soon. The chapel looks too barren after the removal of the candelabra and furniture. Is it even used as liturgical space any more?Calibanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553715375180284630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-17100545039076762382020-07-10T10:34:58.788-07:002020-07-10T10:34:58.788-07:00The ads may be annoying, but they're easily cl...The ads may be annoying, but they're easily clicked away, and are a small price to pay for the daily pleasure of reading Daytonian.
