Chapel of the Centurion, Gothic revival chapel in Fort Monroe, Hampton, US
The Chapel of the Centurion features wooden construction with pointed arches, steep roof lines, and decorative elements characteristic of Carpenter Gothic architecture.
Architect Richard Upjohn designed this religious structure in 1856, following his published standardized plans for wooden Gothic-style buildings from his 1852 book Rural Architecture.
Three stained glass memorial windows created by Louis Comfort Tiffany and his New York City glass company enhance the interior of this religious building.
Visitors can attend worship services every Sunday at 10:30 am at 157 Bernard Road, with additional information available at 757-637-6390.
