Views showing the Gothic-style Protestant Episcopal church built 1846-1850 after the designs of English architect George Gordon
Place at 3200-3230 West Clearfield Street in East Falls near Laurel Hill Cemetery. Images depict the church exterior, doorway,
burial ground, and individual headstones and monuments, including the tomb of "Mark M. Collet, M.D., Col. 3rd N.J. Vols. killed
at Chancellorsville." The Ecclesiological Society, a British church architecture society, provided the plans for the church
to be recreated in the style of a 13th-century English country parish.
