Stone Chapel

Stone Chapel is a chapel building on the Drury University campus with a worship space on the second floor seating approximately 500 people. The ground floor contains meeting rooms, a kitchenette, and facilities designed for gatherings and ceremonies.

The building was constructed in 1880 and stands as the oldest stone structure in Springfield. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 recognized its importance to the city's past.

The chapel serves as a gathering place for weddings, funerals, and concerts where visitors experience the craftsmanship and musical acoustics firsthand. It holds significance in the religious and social life of both the university and the local community.

The building sits at the intersection of Central and Benton Avenue on campus and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should know that the sanctuary is located on the second floor and can be reached by stairs or elevator.

Inside sits a restored 1906 Lyon-Healy pipe organ with three keyboards and 30 ranks. This rare instrument is played by music students and during special concerts, contributing greatly to the space's distinctive sound qualities.
