Christ Church Philadelphia Pennsylvania PA Linen Postcard.
Christ Church was begun in 1727 but the final completion of the spire did not occur until 1754. The chancel with its fine Palladian window, quaint shield and portrait over the keystone, and the rich carved panel above, is one of its greatest beauties.
A beautiful example of Georgian colonial architecture, Christ Church is bordered by a tree-lined brick path, a small park and a cobblestone alley, which provide the perfect setting for this historic treasure.Notably, the tower and steeple made it the tallest building in America until 1856.
