Fort Monroe, Chapel of the Centurion, Off Ruckman Road, Hampton, Hampton, Virginia
Summary
Significance: The Chapel of the Centurion was constructed based on designs by Gothic revivalist-architect, Richard Upjohn. In 1852, Upjohn published standardized plans for a chapel, rectory, school, and other buildings in Rural Architecture. Constructed 1857-1858, the Chapel of the Centurion is a modified version of Upjohn's published plans. The Chapel is also noteworthy for its stained-glass memorial windows, three of which are attributed to Louis Comfort Tiffany and his Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in New York City, New York.
