  • Description
  • The non-denominational chapel, now called the “Campbell Memorial Chapel,” is located on the campus of Chatham College. It was built from 1948-1950 and construction of the new chapel was funded by almost $500,000 of anonymous gifts. The building is located on top of a hill overlooking the center of campus and Woodland Road. The four columns at the entrance were made of limestone. On the inside, the auditorium seats over 800 people, and the lower floors contain other smaller rooms used for various purposes. The tower above the chapel used to house Carillonic bells that would be rung every evening.
