| 説明 | Built in 1887-1888, this Romanesque Revival-style church was designed by Silsbee and Marling to house the congregation of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, founded as a memorial to Reverend Edward Ingersoll of the Trinity Episcopal Church. The formation of the church and its construction was funded by Ingersoll’s close friend Elam R. Jewett, whom owned an estate known as Willow Lawn that stood in the vicinity, with the surrounding area still having a rural character at the time of the construction of the church. The church was inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, being a very simple structure with finely crafted details, though Jewett did not live to see his vision completed, dying a year before the church was finished. The design of the church was also altered after Jewett’s death, with James Marling leaving his business partnership with Joseph L. Silsbee, an early employer of Frank Lloyd Wright, and entering a new partnership with Herbert C. Burdett, whom had worked for Henry Hobson Richardson, with the size of the window openings at the gables being reduced, the porch being downsized, and the tower’s louvers being reduced in size, creating a design more reminiscent of the work of Richardson. The original portion of the church was the sanctuary and tower, which feature a rough fieldstone exterior, roman arched stained glass windows, with many being designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, a cross-gable red terra cotta tile roof, a front entry porch off to the tower with a hipped roof and two pilasters flanking the entry opening, and a tower with a pyramidal hipped copper roof and three openings on each side of the belfry. Inside, the church features dark wood trim and exposed wooden ceiling trusses and rafters, wooden pews, plaster walls, and wooden paneling. In 1890, a Shingle-style rectory was built to the east of the church, featuring a double gable roof, shingle cladding on the gable ends and dormers, decorative panels between the windows on the gable ends, a fieldstone base, two front hipped dormers of varying sizes, a corner porch with a stone column, and a two-story bay window on the east facade. In 1891, a Guild House was added to the south of the original church, featuring a gabled roof, a semi-circular rear apse, and fieldstone walls, which was heavily modified into a Children’s Chapel in 1930 under the direction of North & Shelgren, with a second story added to the top of the structure. Finally, in 1922, the southernmost section of the complex, the Jewett Memorial Hall, was added, featuring the same fieldstone as the rest of the church on the west facade facing Summit Avenue, but clad in brick on the sides and rear, arched window openings on the front facade, a raised central front gable red terra cotta tile roof, a front entry porch similar to the one on the front of the church’s bell tower, and low-slope roofs enclosed by parapets above lower sections of the building to the north and south of the gabled roof. The church continues to house an Episcopal congregation, and is a contributing structure in the Parkside East Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. |
