Pauline Chapel, Religious chapel in Colorado Springs, United States.
Pauline Chapel is a small religious building in Colorado Springs that features carefully designed details, including decorative windows and high interior spaces that structure the inside. The architecture shows clear geometric forms and visible craftsmanship techniques that reflect early 20th-century construction methods.
Spencer Penrose submitted two designs for the chapel in 1918; the second was chosen. The building was completed in 1919 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was not dedicated as a Catholic church until 1925. It is owned by The Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs.
The chapel belongs to The Broadmoor resort, which owns the building. It was not dedicated as a Catholic church until 1925, six years after its 1919 construction, so its religious use came later than its completion.
The chapel stands on the grounds of The Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, which owns it, so access is arranged through the resort rather than as a standalone public site. Ask the resort about visiting before making the trip.
