This Gothic Revival gem has stood near the intersection of Shady Avenue and Walnut Street in Shadyside since 1907. It was created by Ralph Adams Carm, a prolific designer of church and university structures in the first part of the 20th century. The Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York and several buildings at Princeton University also are among his handiwork.Noted stained glass artist Charles Connick designed nearly 70 windows between 1920 and 1939.
Industrialist Henry Clay Frick provided $12,000 for the church's chimes. According to a New York Times story of Aug. 24,1907, some of those attending the chimes' debut were scandalized because popular songs joined sacred tunes on the playlist.
In 1921, Westinghouse Electric Company and the church teamed to provide the first radio broadcast of a church service.
The building was designated a Pittsburgh History and Landmark Foundation landmark in 1969.
