Eden Hall Chapel
Bet you didn't know that the Fairmount Park Commission has a French Gothic Revival style church in its
repertoire of historic buildings. Frank Wills designed Eden Hall Chapel in 1852 as part of a boarding school operated by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
The Chapel, with its interior details, beautiful stain
glass windows, and furnishings intact, survived the demolition of the school complex in the late 1970s. But
time is running out. Vacant since the 1970s, the Chapel's survival requires $1 million of immediate structural
and roof repairs to save the building and attract a new user.
