Saint Saviour's Chapel, Mediterranean Revival chapel in California, United States.
Saint Saviour's Chapel is a chapel on the Harvard-Westlake School campus in Studio City, Los Angeles. It was patterned after the Chapel at Rugby School in England, and its pews face the center aisle. A large rood cross made by students in the school's wood shop hangs in the chapel.
Saint Saviour's Chapel was built in 1914 at the Harvard School's original campus at Western Avenue and Venice Boulevard, designed by Reginald Johnson, son of the first Episcopal bishop of Los Angeles. It was patterned after the chapel at Rugby School in England. When the campus moved to Studio City in 1937, the chapel was cut into sixteen pieces and hauled through Sepulveda Pass via Sepulveda Boulevard. In 1964, for its 50th anniversary, twelve stained-glass windows by chaplain Rev. John S. Gill, made by Judson Studios, were installed.
