Chapel, Office, and Gatehouse at the Homewood Cemetery

Tower of Homewood Cemetery Chapel

Albert Spahr of MacClure & Spahr designed the chapel, the administration building, and the gatehouse for the Homewood Cemetery in a Perpendicular Gothic style. (Mr. MacClure had already died, but his name remained at the head of the firm.) The effect is to make us think of our ideal image of an English village.
