Desloge Chapel, Gothic chapel at Saint Louis University Medical Center, Missouri, US.
The Desloge Chapel is a Gothic structure at Saint Louis University Medical Center featuring a crucifixion sculpture by John Angel and stained glass windows designed by Rodney Winfield. Located at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Vista Avenue, it combines traditional Gothic design with artistic religious elements.
The chapel was designed by architect Ralph Adams Cram and consecrated on November 9, 1933, during the construction of Firmin Desloge Hospital. A generous donation from Lydia Holden Davis Desloge made this religious building possible.
The chapel serves the medical center community as a shared prayer space welcoming people of different faiths. Visitors can see how it draws architectural inspiration from Paris while serving its local spiritual purpose.
The chapel is located within the medical complex and accessible to visitors interested in attending services or spending time in prayer. Plan time to explore the space and view the artworks at a leisurely pace.
The stained glass windows were created in 1983 by Emil Frei Associates based on designs from Father Maurice B. McNamee and Rodney Winfield, displaying detailed artistic craftsmanship. These later windows add modern artistic elements to the chapel's original religious design.
