Saint Augustine’s College-Historic Chapel
Built with the patronage of the Episcopal Church Freedman’s Bureau in 1895, it is one of the olds buildings on the campus and is a designated Raleigh Historic Landmark. Students built this Norman Gothic-style chapel under the direction of Rev. Henry Beard Delany, who at the time was instructor of carpentry and masonry, chaplain and musician; the stone used for construction was quarried from another campus location. The chapel houses the bishop’s chair, a memorial of Delany’s consecration as the first African-American Episcopal Bishop in North Carolina.
