Buildings & Grounds

Architecture

The modest chapel first erected in 1889 across from a corn field has grown into a magnificent Gothic edifice at the crossroads of two major thoroughfares. First designed by architect Addison Hutton (1889), with additions by William L. and Walter F. Price (1904), and Davis, Dunlap, and Barney (1925), Overbrook Presbyterian Church is considered an architectural gem. Our building is listed as an American Presbyterian and Reformed Historical Site, and is also on the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Register of Historical Places.

Stained Glass Windows

Many people comment on the beauty of our stained glass windows, which are illuminated at night for passers-by to enjoy. Among the treasures in our Sanctuary are:

Christ in the Garden: Albert Barnes Memorial Window, by D’Ascenzio Studios (1905)
Resurrection of Christ: War Memorial Windows, by Willett Stained Glass Company (1948)
Jesus Blessing the Children: George Emerson Barnes Memorial Window, by Willett Stained Glass Company (1955)
