EXPANDED TABLE OF CONTENTS

This site is an appreciation of the architecture of The Shadyside Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh.  The structure is one of the finest examples of the Richardsonian Romanesque Revival style extant.  This is not an official site of the church.  The articles listed along the left consider architecture, worship and their inter-relationship both at Shadyside and in Christian churches generally.
