First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta’s Infrastructure

First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, which was founded in 1848, has reportedly repeatedly resided in two sanctuaries on Marietta Street, according to the church's website.

Following some time, the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta claimed it relocated to a "far out" position close to 16th and Peachtree.

The complete sanctuary was reportedly dedicated in 1919, according to the church.

First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta stated the architect recommended a lot of big windows "for light and ventilation.”

The church claimed that the pastor, Dr. Lyons, came up with a strategy and ideas for the installation of stained glass windows.

According to the church, the sanctuary's window surrounds depict biblical scenes, from Abraham to the apostles' attempts to spread Christianity following Christ's death and resurrection.

The church claimed that Tiffany made the first six windows and D'Ascenzo made the other four.

A total of 20 windows can be found over four locations. Four D'Ascenzo windows, seven Tiffany windows, and nine Willet windows were listed as additional details.

The chapel's interior is lined with 12 big windows. The church claims that there are ten windows surrounding the sanctuary's floor, five on each side.

Church’s Connecting Windows

The Triplet, three more compact windows, was allegedly hidden beneath the trefoil, according to the church

The connection connecting each window in the Triplet to the one before it is a primary element that might be found in the central window.

There are larger stained glass windows that are also lit from the outside on one side of the church. According to the church, there are mosaics covering the empty areas on the opposite side.

All were welcome to attend the opening lecture of a three-part series on "The Character of the Cross" given at First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta.

The sermon series reportedly started every morning, according to the church.

The window frames are actually rather intricate, according to First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta.

The church said that the main image was made up of three windows that were arranged in a "trefoil" or tripartite arrangement (or panes).

The trefoil is encircled by eight tall, thin panes that, although they appear to be identical in all 10 windows, are distinct. According to the church, these windows are now known as the Octet or the Mansions.
