Duke University

Duke Chapel catching the evening light on Duke University's West Campus in Durham, North Carolina. The 210-foot tower was designed by Julian Abele, chief designer in Horace Trumbauer's Philadelphia firm and a pioneering Black architect, and its bluestone was quarried near Hillsborough. Work began in October 1930 and the chapel was dedicated on June 2, 1935. It stands at the center of West Campus, so on a tour almost every walk ends up pointing back to it.
