Ira Allen Chapel, Historic chapel at University of Vermont, Burlington, US
The Ira Allen Chapel showcases Colonial Revival architecture with locally manufactured brick walls, ivory-colored trim, and a gray-green slate roof at the University Green.
Construction of the chapel began in 1925 through a $200,000 endowment from James Benjamin Wilbur and was dedicated on January 14, 1927.
The chapel functions as a central venue for University of Vermont ceremonies, hosting graduations, lectures, performances, and numerous academic gatherings throughout the year.
The chapel contains seating for 1,100 people and features a 170-foot bell tower with four eight-foot diameter clocks visible from each direction.
The cornerstone bears an inscription dedicated to both religious service and Ira Allen, marking the dual purpose of this secular university structure.
