    Lower level bathrooms.
    Siobhan D.

    Lovely space but two things: bathrooms are in the lower level and there is no obvious elevator. A friend asked the staff if there was an elevator to the bathrooms and was told "no...but there is a lift" but she didn't know what that meant so she struggled up and down the stairs. Also, it is super hot and stuffy! There is no air conditioning. Doors are open, but the pews are full with students on tour and it is roasting. But the space is old and beautiful and the acoustics are great. The speaker is not even using a microphone.

    I love the vaulted ceilings

    Stupendous, just awe inspiring stupendous. John D. Rockefeller was a robber baron whose guilt/generosity led him to donate money and build many useful and beautiful buildings but he outdid himself here. He must have realized it himself as he allowed it to be named after him, a rarity. It completes the neo gothic architecture of this wonderful university and provides a focus to the campus. It was a great place to stop in when I was lucky enough to attend summer seminars here many many moons ago and still was on our recent Hyde Park holiday. I just wish I could attend a wedding here. Not mine, I've been married twice, that's enough. I just would love to see it being used for that purpose. In the meantime, I will just appreciate it for its architectural glory.

    This is quite an impressive chapel, especially for being for a university. But hey it was built with Rockefeller money! The organ inside really is amazing and the stained glass windows.

    here it is

    Just stunning. Back when the wealthy gave back to the community and to better those to come with glorious and glamorous architecture.
