The Chapel was built to the glory of God and in loving memory of Mr. and Mrs. A.L. Shuman, a founder of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper. Built in the Gothic Revival style under the direction of Preston Geren, Senior, architect, the chapel was part of the construction of St. Andrew’s Parish House in 1949, all in keeping with the architecture of the existing church, completed in 1912. The floor in the chapel is silica sandstone flagstone.

The four stained glass windows in the chapel were installed in 1949, with the iconography under the direction of the Reverend Louis F. Martin, Rector, and the Reverend Hunter Lewis, Associate Minister. The windows were created by Jacoby Art Glass Company of Saint Louis, Missouri.

The chapel Altar is a reproduction of a 16th century Holy Table located at St. Thomas a’ Becket Church, Salisbury, England, which has been in continuous use for Holy Communion services since then. The Holy Table is constructed of pecan, the Texas State wood, and was crafted by Mario Camilleri of Fort Worth.

The Brass candlesticks on the Altar are according to Pugin design and have been in use at St. Andrew’s since the 1870’s. They were made in Birmingham, England.
The Cross on the Altar dates from 1949 and is made of brass.

In 2005, Leonard Porter Studio was commissioned to make a painting for Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church that would show a hopeful vision of Heaven where the faithful find a refuge from the trials of this world, made possible by Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. The subject chosen was Christ as King Ruling in Heaven or Christ in Majesty.
The Porter painting is a gift from daughters, Martha Vaughan Leonard and Madelon Leonard Bradshaw, in memory of their mother, Mary Vaughan Leonard, a devoted Christian and long time member of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church.
