Abstract: The Main Sanctuary of the Church is an architectural marvel in several respects, most notably that it exists as a structure within the structure. Its walls and windows are not in contact with the outside, since it is contained as a distinct oval within an otherwise rectangular edifice. The Church periodically hosts an extraordinary Architectural Tour revealing this special design, affording visitors access to the Attic and Clock Tower. This photo from the Architectural Tour features the eastern end of the Attic, at what is externally the principal facade of the Church. The fixture at the right provides access to the Rose Window, the cube in the center contains electronics for the Organ, and the ribbing at the left is the upper ceiling of the Main Sanctuary.
