Opus 28

Andorra, Philadelphia, PA St. Mary’s Episcopal Church – Andorra, Philadelphia, PA

Originally intended to be the new Cathedral Church of Christ for the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, St. Mary’s Church, Andorra, Philadelphia, is a curious building. Construction was halted by the effects of the Great Depression and World War II. Changing political weather within the diocese eventually caused the project to be abandoned, leaving only the Lady Chapel which was constructed on the same axis but beyond the chancel of the original plan.
