Edman Chapel

The Warren Holmes Company in 1959 presented these designs for Edman Chapel to the Board of Trustees. The shape for both is basically the same, though each draft boasts variant details, such as alternate imaginings for the clock tower, windows and a pull-up side entrance from Washington Street. The new chapel was designed to seat 2500 guests, accommodating events too large for Pierce Chapel. The present Edman Chapel was dedicated by V. Raymond Edman, fourth President of Wheaton College, on homecoming weekend of the Centenntial Year, 1960. (B2124)
