Goddard Chapel, Religious building at Tufts University in Medford, United States
The Lombardic Romanesque chapel features a hundred-foot bell tower, cloister on the east side, and exterior walls constructed of blue-gray slate from local quarries.
Mary Goddard provided 25,000 dollars to construct the chapel between 1882 and 1883, replacing the former worship space in Ballou Hall that had become too small.
The interior displays medieval Romanesque elements with ribbed ceilings, cherry pews, oak floors, and stained glass windows depicting religious figures in Tufts University colors.
The chapel remains open for various religious services, student gatherings, and campus events throughout the academic year at Tufts University.
The stained glass windows incorporate an innovative color-etching technique developed by architect J. Phillip Rinn and Italian artist Tommaso Juglaris to maximize natural light transmission.
