St. Peter's Episcopal Church of Germantown
St. Peter's Episcopal Church of Germantown, Episcopal church in Germantown, Philadelphia, United States.
Located at 6000 Wayne Avenue, this Gothic architecture church features elaborate stonework and a prominent steeple designed by Furness & Hewitt architectural firm.
The church construction began in 1873 under the initiative of Henry Howard Houston, Vice President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, to develop the Germantown neighborhood.
The church building contained two notable Tiffany stained glass windows and murals by artist Violet Oakley before their relocation to Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
The former church building now houses the Waldorf School of Philadelphia, demonstrating successful adaptation of historical structures for educational purposes.
The architectural design combines Gothic elements with Victorian features, reflecting the influence of Frank Furness in the steeple proportions.
