    Preserving the campus of the First Presbyterian Church

The sanctuary at the First Presbyterian Church (FPC), a National Historic Landmark, is internationally acclaimed as a masterpiece of modern art and architecture. Inspired by the 13th century Sainte-Chappelle chapel in Paris, architect Wallace K. Harrison succeeded in his intent to impart the emotional impact of a gothic cathedral in a modern American church. Harrison pioneered the use of dalle de verre glass within the thin shell walls.

We invite you to take a virtual tour of this stunning masterpiece!

This 6.7 acre campus—comprising a village green and buildings that include a carillon tower and sanctuary that has extraordinary dalle de verre stained glass, floor-to-ceiling windows—designed by Wallace K. Harrison, an iconic modernist architect.
