Swope Chapel was erected at the top of Lamkin Drive in 1917-18 in honor of Margaret Chrisman Swope through the generous contributions of William Chrisman Swope. The Chapel sanctuary was used for the last time at Commencement 1955. The building underwent multiple modifications to maintain structural stability for usable portions of the building until the building was finally vacated in 1966. The stained glass windows have been preserved. Several of the windows have been restored and are displayed at the Development Center on 7th Street and the Mueller Leadership Hall.
