Plans and architectural designs have been completed for the construction of three chapels–Jewish, Protestant and Catholic–at New York International Airport at Idlewild, the New York Port Authority announced today. The plans have been under consideration for three years.
Officials pointed out that the approved designs “recognize the individuality of each faith, and yet architecturally unite the three chapels in a common sense of aspiration.” The chapel for each of the faiths was designed by a different architect. Bloch & Hesse, of New York, designed the Jewish chapel.
