The Irving J. Gill Foundation is pleased to announce our second book on one of America’s most important architects, Irving J. Gill. Written by Rev. Dr. Mark Hargreaves, The Sacred Architecture of Irving J. Gill is an in-depth examination of the career of one of America’s most significant architectural innovators as seen through his many designs of sacred architecture. This is not a typical book on architecture. It brings together a study of a unique body of architecture and examines the congregations that hired Gill to build their beliefs and aspirations.

The work of Irving J. Gill in building new churches has been hitherto unfairly neglected. Of that topic, Mark Hargreaves reminds us that the architect’s aim should be not just to create a work of beauty but also a building specifically designed for the religious aspirations of the particular congregation concerned. So thorough is Hargreaves’ book that it can also serve as a general introduction to church architecture.
