A substantial pulpit with a sounding board is on the congregation’s right. The lower portion of the windows seems to be depicted as square panes of clear glass. The rose, clerestory and the arches of the main windows are stained glass. What may be a rose window hovers on a colorful chancel wall above what appears to be a wooden reredos. Ample round-arch windows pierce the walls, with smaller clerestory windows paired above each.

A pencil sketch on the reverse of the rendering adds to the mystery. The other is labeled “Chapel for Shadyside Presbyterian Church.” The pencil and watercolor rendering depicts a much more ambitious design than any of the versions actually realized at the chapel. One drawing is clearly a proposed modification (unexecuted) to the 1890 sanctuary of the church. Even the date of their production is uncertain (between 1914 and the mid 1930s – likely the late 20s). Steen, raise more questions than they settle about Shadyside Church.
