SUMMARY:
Scope of Work - The Evans Memorial Chapel (often simply Evans Chapel) is an historic chapel on the campus of the University of Denver in Colorado. It is the oldest continuously-used building for religious purposes in Denver.[1][4][note 1] Completed in 1878, the Evans Memorial Chapel was built with patronage by John Evans in honor of his daughter Josephine. Evans was governor of the Colorado Territory and a founder of the Colorado Seminary (now the University of Denver). Once part of Grace Church, a prominent Methodist Episcopal congregation on 13th Avenue and Bannock in downtown Denver, the small Gothic Revival chapel was moved to the University of Denver’s campus in 1959. It reopened there in April 1960, and is now the campus’s oldest building. Restoration of the stained glass windows and installation of protective glazing. Work was performed in partnership with Watkins Stained Glass.
