Jenny Lind Chapel, Greek Revival chapel in Andover, US.
The chapel stands at the intersection of 6th and Oak Streets, featuring white painted walls and rectangular windows with a simple architectural design.
Built in 1851, this Lutheran church became the first structure of the Augustana Synod, establishing Swedish Lutheran presence in the United States.
The building carries the name of Swedish opera performer Jenny Lind, who provided 1,500 dollars for its construction during her American concert tour.
The basement section contains a museum displaying artifacts, letters, and historical documents from early Swedish settlers in the Andover region.
The planned steeple construction materials were repurposed into coffins during the 1852 cholera epidemic that affected the local Swedish community.
