Kirkpatrick Chapel, a Gothic Revival church designed by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, was built in 1873. The chapel is named for Mrs. Sophia Astley Kirkpatrick of New Brunswick, who bequeathed her estate of approximately $65,000 to Rutgers. In addition to religious services, the Chapel formerly housed the College library on the second floor until 1903, when Voorhees Hall was completed. In 1916 all partitions were removed in Kirkpatrick, increasing the seating capacity from 300 to 800 persons and leaving the entire building for use as a chapel. The Chapel contains a collection of portraits of prominent officers and benefactors of Rutgers. Kirkpatrick Chapel is a striking combination of 14th century German and English architecture.
