“On the twenty-second day of January, 1867, Mr. Benjamin T. Reed of Boston, by legal indenture, placed in the hands of trustees one hundred thousand dollars, towards the founding and endowing of an Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, which school was opened in the autumn of the same year. “In the year 1869, Mr. Robert M. Mason [of Boston], completed and presented to the Trustees the beautiful edifice of St. John’s Memorial Chapel, as a free church for the permanent use of the students of the school, and of the congregation which might be gathered there as worshippers. This building, with its fine organ and other furniture cost its generous donor seventy-five thousand dollars.” The congregation is not organized as a parish, nor has it any Rector or Wardens; but the Faculty of the School are required to maintain, permanently, public worship and preaching in the Chapel, under the direction of the Dean of the Faculty. Rev. John S. Stone, D.D. was elected Dean at the organization of the School in 1867.” – “History of Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1630-1877 with a Genealogical Register” by Lucius R. Paige, p. 341 - 1877

  • 0 Garden Street
By the middle of the eighteenth century many of the prominent families in Cambridge “were, for the most part, members of the Church of England, and to provide for them a spiritual home, an Episcopal church was organized in 1759, and Christ Church was built. The plans were furnished by Peter Harrison of Newport, R.I., the architect of the Redwood Library of that city, and of King’s Chapel in Boston; and despite the material used, it was deemed 'a model of beauty and proportion.' It was opened for worship on October 15th, 1761, and for thirteen or fourteen years its straight-back, square pews were occupied by the loyal wealth and aristocracy of Cambridge. The rector expounded the doctrines of Church and State to his flock from a cumbrous wineglass pulpit, which then stood in front of the chancel and at the head of the middle aisle; and the wardens sat at the other end of the church, their rods of office warning unruly attendants to beware of constituted authority; while an excellent London organ, built by Snetzler, gave forth chant and anthem from the loft overhead…" - A History of Cambridge, Massachusetts (1630-1913) by Samuel Atkins Eliot, A.M., D.D.
