Bela Lyon Pratt (1867-1917) in 1904 sculpted the bust of Frederic Dan Huntington (Rector, 1860-1869) and the carved stone tablets behind it.  A student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, he also sculpted statues of Edward Everett Hale (Boston Public Garden), Phillips Brooks (Harvard U.), and personifications of Art and Science (Boston Public Library).

Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907), sculpted in 1883 the bronze bas relief of Alexander Hamilton Vinton (1807-1881; Rector, 1869-1877).   He also sculpted the Shaw Memorial (Boston Common) and Phillips Brooks (Copley Square) and assisted John LaFarge with his murals in Trinity Church, Boston

 

 

 

Henry Vaughan (1845-1917), in 1898 designed the pulpit in our sanctuary as a memorial to Alexander Hamilton Rice (1818-1895), who had been Mayor of Boston, Governor of the Commonwealth, and U.S. Congressman. In 1898, Vaughn designed the oak cover of our baptismal font in memory of Stephen Van Rensselaer Thayer (1847-1871).  He also worked on the National Cathedral, Washington DC; the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NYC; St. Paul’s School, Concord NH; and Church of the Redeemer, Chestnut Hill MA.
