Sanctuary in Historic Dupont Church

A Stunning sanctuary that holds up to 360 people and offers incredible natural acoustics with high stone walls supported by wooden beams. The sanctuary gets plenty of natural light filtered through its ornate stained glass windows but has overhead pendant light fixtures for night events. The building also has a small vintage library, a bright and open parlor, and a foyer connecting both rooms to the Sanctuary. This space is perfect for concerts, speaking engagements, theatrical performances and offers a unique venue for photo shoots and film productions. Building History: This English Gothic Sanctuary was designed by H. Langford Warren. The architect of the chapel was a Swedenborgian and was also the Dean of Harvard’s School of Architecture. The church was one of the country’s first to welcome the marriages of couples of different races. In the 1970s the church opened its doors to marriages of couples with different faiths. Then, in the 2000s, it was one of the first churches to welcome couples in same-sex marriages, before this was legalized by the Supreme Court.
