History of the Building

Our church building, designed by Francis H. Allen and Charles Collens of Boston, who were the architects for the Riverside Church in New York City and the Rockefeller Chapel at the University of Chicago, has its roots in Romanesque architecture derived from English, French, and Italians traditions. For more information on its history, see UNMC: A brief history.

Two pamphlets, "Sermons in Stone" and "The Windows Speak," are available in the church vestibule to take you on a guided tour of the carvings and stained glass windows.
