👍👍 Glorious building! The inside is much nicer than you'd ever expect. There is also an entire wall dedicated to the Harvard students/alumni who died in WWII. I'd say it's tied for first place with Widener Library for the most amazing building at Harvard Yard. People often mention Harvard,

    Not really much to see inside, but the outside has some lovely lawns and makes for a good photo backdrop of your visit to Harvard!

    Peaceful. Historic landmark. Veterans who died in the world war are remembered. Morning prayers are divine. This is where guests speak during commencement. Close to the steps. It is right opposite Widener.

    The Church has iconic status. Architecture is wondrous. Totally worth your while exploring the building. But anyway, this is church you'd see in postcards. So go ahead. Create your own postcard. Go there especially in spring and fall. Snap a few pictures. You'll have your wallpaper by the end of the excursion!

    It is a beautiful and unique place for a church with out a denomination. It holds concerts, memorials, regular church services for the Harvard community . The architecture is simple and elegant reflecting the style of the time. It has a similarity for it's ceiling with Symphony Hall, but less elaborate. I attended classical concerts, like Mozart Requiem, or Gospel choir concert. The acustics are good and give the event a Harvard dignity.

    We attended the Christmas concert. The acoustics were very good, even all the way in the back.
