Duke University Chapel . Durham NC
Construction started in 1930 and was completed 2 years later...wow! Isn't it beautiful? We weren't able to tour it as it is currently undergoing some restoration work...We'll get back down there and see the inside eventually!
Click Here for the chapel's website and see some great old photos of the constuction.

A fantastic building, but more than a Chapel it is a Church or a Cathedral, I would say...
ReplyDeleteAwesome building, Tanya! The stonework is beautiful and those windows are beautiful! It would be wonderful to see inside!
ReplyDeleteLike the 3rd shot especially. Very majestic. Windows are one of my favorite subjects to shoot.
ReplyDeleteThose first two distant perspectives make quite a nice introduction.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful chapel!
ReplyDeleteThat is very impressive. Looks European. And it certainly reaches to the heavens. I guess this is where students go to pray before their final exams? :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a large chapel, nearly a cathedral and the details at the windows are so impressive.
ReplyDeleteA very impressive chapel. Amazing designs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful church!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous chapel, generally I think of a chapel has a small building, these is huge. Thanks Tanya for sharing this week, please come back soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my...that is a beautiful structure and a treasure for sure.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous chapel and loved your photos. Thanks Tanya :)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and I love the zooming in of the first shots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful building. I love the archways and windows also.

For a minute I thought you were on a European tour :). Beautiful shots, Tanya!
ReplyDeleteHow impressive! That's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Tanya! My brother-in-law graduated from Duke. You definitely have to go back and get some pics of the inside.
ReplyDeleteThis chapel is STUNNING!!! WOW!!! I love these photos. Thanks for sharing them. (You made my morning!)
ReplyDeleteFinally I can see the photos (connection was to slow yesterday), that's really wow and I cannot believe, that is build only 1930 in such short time. Looks like our caathedrals, a lot of centurys old...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, have a nice day
Nice images, Tanya. I spent a week on the Duke campus for a training program many years ago. It is a pretty place.
