PC Buildings

Piephoff Outdoor Chapel is located adjacent to the PC pond, between Reynolds Hall and Spradley Hall. This chapel was completed in 2005 in memory of the Rev. Dr. Clarence Piephoff, PC class of 1922 and recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from PC in 1955. After serving churches in Georgia and South Carolina, he was elected Moderator of the Synod of Georgia in 1954. Funding for the outdoor chapel was provided by Warren Barry, class of 1955, Tabernacle Baptist Church in Augusta, and Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. PC Associate Professor of Art, Ralph Paquin was commissioned to design and sculpt the beautiful Celtic Cross.

The outdoor chapel includes a memorial plaque (pictured below) dedicated to Dr. Thomas Aurelius Stallworth, a PC class of 1955 alumnus. Known to many as “Mr. PC” Tom served the college in just about every capacity possible between 1959 and 1995—from professor, chaplain, and counselor, to coach, dean of students, and director of alumni affairs. As an avid PC sports fan, Tom served as the Faculty Athletic Representative for many years and was elected president of the Carolinas Conference in 1967.
