Theophilus Parsons Chandler, Jr. (b. 1845, Boston, Massachusetts – d. August 16 1928) was a society architect of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Career
Theophilus Parsons Chandler, Jr. was educated at Harvard University and Atelier Vaudremer in Paris. Upon his return from France, he was employed by several offices in his native Boston. Under the influence of landscape artist Robert Copeland, Chandler relocated to Philadelphia.
Most notable for his ecclesiastical style, Chandler designed many churches including Philadelphia's Swedenborgian and Bethlehem Presbyterian Churches, as well as Pittsburgh's First Presbyterian Church. As the founder of the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Architecture, Chandler essentially set forth the architectural climate in Philadelphia. He served as president of the Philadelphia AIA Chapter and the Board of Trustees of the Spring Garden Institute. He later persuaded Warren P. Laird to move to Philadelphia and adopt the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Architecture headship.
