Duke Chapel, located at the top of Chapel Drive on West Campus, is considered to be one of the last great examples of the Collegiate Gothic architectural style in the United States. The monumental building opened in 1932, designed by Juilien F. Abele, a prominent African-American architect. It went through major renovations in 2015-16 to restore its beauty. Church services take place there throughout the week, and it serves as a sanctuary open to all people throughout the year for important personal moments of prayer, reflection, grief, and gratitude. The chapel stands at 210 feet tall and can seat approximately 1,500 people. All of the breathtaking woodwork was fashioned by Irving and Casson, A. H. Davenport, Inc., of Boston, and designer Charles H. Crowther. The 77 ornate stained-glass windows and the ornamental lead-and-gold symbols in the doors were designed and made by G. Owen Bonawit, Inc., of New York, along with designer S. Charles Jaekle and craftsman Hugh Doherty. Charles Keck, of New York, sculpted the recumbent statues on the tombs in the Memorial Chapel. The stunning ironwork was hewn by William H. Jackson Company of New York.
