Description: Calvary Episcopal in Pittsburgh helped reinforce Ralph Adams Cram's national reputation at the turn of the twentieth century. Thirty years later, nearby East Liberty Presbyterian was what Cram characterized as a singular opportunity in an architect's career: a single donor to finance the church, a virtually limitless budget, and the opportunity to complete the church with all its furnishings and details. (Links to East Liberty & Calvary images are in the comments below.) Just south of these two East End churches is Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church, a church by Cram that gets little attention. Its neighborhood and congregation are mainly African-American. It has a grand "cathedral" appearance and some fascinating details. This photo is part of a set on Holy Rosary, which can be followed on the right.
