Heinz Memorial Chapel

NxNW 2025 was held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this last weekend with a great group of 6 photographers and friends from across the country. We rented out the Historic Heinz Memorial Chapel on the University of Pittsburgh campus and had a great time.

The chapel was a gift of German-American Henry John Heinz, founder of the H.J. Heinz Company, who wanted to honor his mother, Anna Margaretha Heinz, with a building at the university. Upon his death in 1919, Heinz’s three surviving children (Howard, Irene, and Clifford) added to his bequest to memorialize their grandmother and honor their father. Their choice of a chapel for a memorial was guided by the concepts of education and religion, which Anna Margaretta Heinz imbued in her children.

Thanks for stopping
