Description

Interior view of Packer Memorial Church of Lehigh University, "which was erected by Mrs. Mary Packer Cummings in memory of her family. This magnificent Gothic temple is constructed of sandstone, and in elegance of finish, as well as in massiveness, is the crown of the collection of handsome buildings in the University park. The total length of the church is 168 feet inside, and the transepts measure 84 feet across. The front is adorned with a bold spire, 180 feet high, and the carved stone work of the portal, together with the projecting baptistry, give a rich variety to the lines. It will seat 900 persons comfortably, and is [was] used not only for divine service, but also for the Commencement exercises. The interior is handsomely decorated, and the series of stained glass windows illustrate a large number of Scripture incidents. The chancel contains a fine organ." Edmund M. Hyde, The Lehigh University, a Historical Sketch, 1896.
