Buildings & Grounds

Architecture

The modest chapel first erected in 1889 across from a corn field has grown into a magnificent Gothic edifice at the crossroads of two major thoroughfares. First designed by architect Addison Hutton (1889), with additions by William L. and Walter F. Price (1904), and Davis, Dunlap, and Barney (1925), Overbrook Presbyterian Church is considered an architectural gem. Our building is listed as an American Presbyterian and Reformed Historical Site, and is also on the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Register of Historical Places.

Stained Glass Windows

Note: Sadly, almost all of our beautiful stained glass was destroyed by the fire in January 2024. We are rebuilding and new stained glass is definitely in our plans.

Many people comment on the beauty of our stained glass windows, which are illuminated at night for passers-by to enjoy. Among the treasures in our Sanctuary are:

Christ in the Garden
Albert Barnes Memorial Window, by D’Ascenzio Studios (1905)
Resurrection of Christ
War Memorial Windows, by Willett Stained Glass Company (1948)
Jesus Blessing the Children
George Emerson Barnes Memorial Window, by Willett Stained Glass Company (1955)

Shared Use Partners

Throughout the week, Overbrook Presbyterian Church is a center of community activity. It is regularly used not only by the congregation, but by many other local community organizations and groups including Narberth Community Theatre, Overbrook Farms Club, Alcoholics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, The Food Trust, the German Society of Pennsylvania, and many more.

Renting Space

Due to the fire in January 2024, rentals are not available until further notice. Please contact our office if you have any questions.
