The building was added to the list of National Register of Historical Places in 1974 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985. According to the National Park Service #39;s official Statement of Significance (as of designation, February 4, 1985): "This is the first example of the pure English Parish church style in America, and one of the best examples of a 19th-century American Gothic church for its coherence and authenticity of design. Its influence on the major architects of the Gothic Revival in the United States was profound." The Wanamaker Memorial Bell Tower and mausoleum (1908), designed by John T. Windrim, houses a set of JC Deagan tower chimes and a chime of bells by the McShane foundry.From:Kimberly KilleriViews:0 1ratingsTime:05:16More inTravel Events
