Henry Mansfield Cannon Memorial Chapel, Gothic Revival chapel at University of Richmond, United States.
The Henry Mansfield Cannon Memorial Chapel is a brick structure with stone details built in the Gothic Revival style on the University of Richmond campus. The building displays characteristic pointed-arch windows, rising vertical lines, and carved stone details that define its exterior appearance.
Architect Charles M. Robinson designed and completed the building in 1929. Its construction was part of the University of Richmond's campus expansion during the early decades of the 20th century.
The chapel serves as a gathering place where the university community comes together for religious services and formal academic occasions. Students and staff use the interior for personal reflection and for ceremonies that mark important milestones in campus life.
The chapel is located within the campus grounds and can be explored on foot. Visitors should be aware that regular academic and religious events may affect access, so checking available hours in advance is helpful.
In the 1980s the building received new stained glass windows that brought light and color to the interior. This renovation updated the Gothic features while shifting how visitors experience the space.
