Eden Lost

Eden Hall Chapel

Bet you didn't know that the Fairmount Park Commission has a French Gothic Revival style church in its repertoire of
historic buildings. Frank Wills designed Eden Hall Chapel in 1852 as part of a boarding school operated by the Sisters
of the Sacred Heart.

The Chapel, with its interior details, beautiful stain glass windows, and furnishings intact, survived the demolition of
the school complex in the late 1970s. But time is running out. Vacant since the 1970s, the Chapel's survival requires $1
million of immediate structural and roof repairs to save the building and attract a new user.
