Chappelle Administration Building
Chappelle Administration Building, Colonial Revival building at Allen University in Columbia, United States
The Chappelle Administration Building features red brick masonry walls, stone decorations, and a three-arched porch across its fourteen-bay wide main facade.
The building was completed in 1925 following designs by John Anderson Lankford, who earned his mechanical engineering degrees at the Tuskegee Institute.
The structure represents a milestone in African American education as part of Allen University, established in 1870 to provide education for former slaves.
Located at 1530 Harden Street in Columbia, the three-and-a-half story administrative center maintains its original architectural features except for the rebuilt cupola.
The building received National Historic Landmark status in 1976 and functions within the Waverly Protection Area of Columbia's Historic Preservation District.
