CHAPTER
Pittsburgh"s Shadyside Presbyterian Church,
completed in 1890, is one of the best Richardsonian Romanesque structures
not designed by H. H. Richardson himself. A remarkable 1938 transformation
of the sanctuary introduced a liturgically complex worship space.
Surprisingly, it also brought explicit Christian symbolism to a church in
the Reformed tradition that did not display a Cross inside until a decade
later. This book explores the symbolic meaning of the architectural
arrangement, liturgical furnishings, religious sculpture and artistic
expression on both the exterior and the interior of this historic
building.
