To me it's the most pleasing <span style="font-weight: bold;">Philip Shutze</span> public building. It also serves as Emory's largest auditorium and it contains Shutze's "Little Chapel" (more in post script).<br /><br />I don't mind the teller line when I can peruse the proportions and details.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4171711169/" title="PC092213-2009-12-09-Glen-Church-From-Teller-Window-DetailRear by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="PC092213-2009-12-09-Glen-Church-From-Teller-Window-DetailRear" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2613/4171711169_c53f77dc63.jpg" width="444" /></a><br /><br />When the leaves fall I get a better view.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4172466364/" title="PC092213-2009-12-09-Glen-Church-From-Teller-Window-DetailFront by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="PC092213-2009-12-09-Glen-Church-From-Teller-Window-DetailFront" height="407" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2674/4172466364_743fe0749c.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/3197275592/" title="P1131689-Glenn-And-Edubuilding by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1131689-Glenn-And-Edubuilding" height="375" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3372/3197275592_bda15aec7a.jpg" width="500" /></a></span><br /><br />It's been home to many graduations, church services, concerts, weddings, and funerals.

Folks just don't know about the little chapel. From the <a href="http://www.glennumc.org/templates/System/details.asp?id=41359&PID=541074">Glenn website</a>:<br /><blockquote>"The chapel is almost an exact replica, on a smaller scale, of the interior of <a href="http://www.ststephenwalbrook.net/gallery2.htm">St. Stephen Walbrook</a>, an Anglican church in London that is considered to be one of Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpieces."</blockquote>
