Stanford Field Trip: The Memorial Church

The Stanford Memorial Church ("The University's architectural crown jewel") stands in the middle of the Stanford campus, California, United States. The church was built during the American Renaissance by Jane Stanford, co-founder of Stanford, as a memorial to her husband, Leland Stanford, founder of Stanford University. Designed by Charles Allerton Coolidge, a very successful architect. The Stanford family were a very religious family so they decided to let the church to be open to all. The church was 'completely' built in 1903.


In This Day, people use this church for services: Weddings, Baptisms, Memorial Services, & more.
