Evans Memorial Chapel, Historic chapel at University of Denver, Colorado, US.

The Gothic Revival Evans Memorial Chapel features stained glass windows, detailed woodwork, and architectural elements characteristic of 1870s religious buildings in Denver.

Built in 1878 at a cost of $13,000, the chapel honors John Evans's daughter Josephine, who died from consumption at age 24 in 1868.

The chapel maintains its role as an interdenominational space on campus, hosting religious services, weddings, and community gatherings throughout the academic year.

Located on the University of Denver campus after its 1959 relocation, the chapel underwent a complex move that required disassembly of its 427-ton structure.

The oldest building continuously used for religious purposes in Denver received National Historic Landmark status in 1988 for its architectural and historical significance.
