tripadvisorUnfortunately when we visited Harvard Uni this church was closed. But we saw the architecture of it, find that it offers not only religious services but concerts too. It was built in 1932 in honor of the men and women of Harvard University who died in World War I. There is a history before - on the same place stood Appleton Chapel which served as home to religious life at Harvard until 1932. At the side is on display John Taylor Bell from 1926 casted in London. The bell cracked in 2011 but in 2017 restored and since then is on the current place.
MoreSince 1744, the University as had a chapel on its campus with the latest building being the current chapel built in the 1932. The church is a red-brick building with a beautiful steeple similar to the old North Church. The church is located just off Harvard Yard and across the quad from the library. It is one of those public buildings that any visit to Harvard should see.
MoreSo impressive to see all these names that have lost their lives in the wars. Just still being brilliant student with a great future ahead of them. I would recommend all world leaders to visit this church, so they never send their children to war.
