Heinz Memorial Chapel is a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark〔 and a contributing property to the Schenley Farms National Historic District〔http://mac10.umc.pitt.edu/u/FMPro?-db=ustory&-format=d.html&-lay=a&-sortfield=issueid%3a%3aissuedate&-sortorder=descend&keywords=bellefield%20hall&-max=50&-recid=38544&-find=〕 on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. ==History== The chapel was a gift of German-American Henry John Heinz, founder of the H.J. Heinz Company, who wanted to honor his mother, Anna Margaretta Heinz, with a building at the university. Upon his death in 1919, Heinz’s three surviving children (Howard, Irene, and Clifford) added to his bequest in order to memorialize their grandmother and honor their father. Their choice of a chapel for a memorial was guided by the concepts of education and religion which Anna Margaretta Heinz imbued in her children. Howard Heinz, Chancellor John Gabbert Bowman, and Joh Weber, business manager and university secretary, were the driving energy behind the chapel’s concept and execution. Working with them were other members of the Heinz family, and two well-known clergymen, Dr. Hugh Thomson Kerr, pastor of Shadyside Presbyterian Church, and Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, president of Union Theological Seminary. Ground was broken in 1933 and the cornerstone laid in 1934. At the chapel’s dedication on November 20, 1938 Howard Heinz spoke of the meaning of the memorial chapel:
Chancellor Bowman commented at the cornerstone laying:
Since its dedication, the Heinz family and their philanthropies, as well as private donations from other various individuals, have provided ongoing financial support. In 1996, an addition to the chapel’s north side containing an elevator provided a permanent structure that allows complete accessibility for those with disabilities. This $1.25 million addition, designed by Landmark Design Associates, was funded with grants from the Heinz Endowments and University capital funds.〔(Landmark Design Associates, Heinz Chapel Addition, accessdate=2009-03-30 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heinz Memorial Chapel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
