Useful information

Description

Completed in 1928, this chapel is the tallest building on the University of Chicago campus. Embodying typical Gothic principles, the brick and limestone edifice has little structural steel. The stained-glass of the pastel windows contrasts with the brightly coloured window above the altar. The magnificent chancel with its organ pipes, pulpit and carved oak choir seats creates a sense of pomp for the graduation ceremonies held here.
