Stanford Memorial Church

Stanford Memorial Church is situated on the Main Quad at the focal point of the Stanford University grounds in Stanford, California, United States. It was worked amid the American Renaissance by Jane Stanford as a dedication to her better half Leland. Composed by engineer Charles A. Coolidge, an understudy of Henry Hobson Richardson, the congregation has been called "the University's engineering crown gem".

Outlines for the congregation were submitted to Jane Stanford and the college trustees in 1898, and it was committed in 1903. The building is Romanesque in shape and Byzantine in its points of interest, motivated by holy places in the area of Venice, particularly, Ravenna. Its recolored glass windows and broad mosaics depend on religious compositions the Stanfords appreciated in Europe. The congregation has five pipe organs, which enable performers to create numerous styles of organ music. Stanford Memorial Church has withstood two noteworthy quakes, in 1906 and 1989, and was broadly remodeled after each.
