Oak Hill Cemetery Chapel, Gothic Revival chapel in Georgetown, United States.
The Oak Hill Cemetery Chapel features blue gneiss walls with red sandstone trim, measuring 23 feet high and 41 feet long.
William Wilson Corcoran funded the construction of this chapel in 1850, investing $9,400 for architect James Renwick Jr's Gothic Revival design.
The chapel stands as an architectural reference point, influencing later religious structures in Washington DC, including the design of Grace Episcopal Church.
Located at the highest ridge of Oak Hill Cemetery near 29th and R Streets NW, the chapel includes a west-side entrance with a wrought iron gate.
The chapel's cornerstone bears the inscription '1850' and features a padlock from 1895, presented by James L. Norris to Oak Hill Cemetery Company.
