We knew nothing about the chapel but were wandering around the university area and were drawn to the fine architecture. Entering was a complete surprise, as you can imagine.
Each of these tall windows has a unique theme which is illustrated with a range of religious and secular figures. It was a distinct pleasure to see the range of people used to remind us that Courage or Tolerance come in many forms.

This building is indeed one of the treasures of Pittsburgh! So happy that you found it! The Cathedral of Learning is nice, too, in its way. (I live in the Pittsburgh area.)
