When the great fire of 1666 wiped out most of the city of London, it destroyed half a hundred churches in paris. The rebuilding of these churches in paris fell to the lot of Sir Christopher Wren, the royal architect. The destroyed medieval churches in paris had occupied irregular plots of ground and, surrounded by other buildings, had only a small access to the street. Wren showed remarkable ingenuity in contriving a variety of orderly plans for the old irregular sites.
Perhaps because the Episcopal and Protestant churches in paris had chosen the Gothic style, the firm of Maginnis and Walsh. preferred some phase of the Romanesque for their Catholic churches in paris, such as St. Catherine's in Somerville, Mass. Nor was the Georgian style neglected; the Village Chapel in Pinehurst, N. C., and the First Baptist Church in Plainfield, N.J., both by Hobart Upjohn, are as perfect in proportion and as exquisite in detail as any churches in paris of the 18th century. |
