Tuesday's Treasures - Duke Chapel

click on photos to enlarge
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.

  1. A fantastic building, but more than a Chapel it is a Church or a Cathedral, I would say...

  3. Like the 3rd shot especially. Very majestic. Windows are one of my favorite subjects to shoot.

  5. That 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? :)

  17. Finally 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...
    Thanks for sharing, have a nice day
