đ The construction of Duke Chapel began in 1930 & ended in 1932. The buildingâs cornerstone reads on October 22, 1930.
.
At the time of completion, the costs of the build totaled $2.3 million, which would be upwards of $42.3 million in 2019.
.
Itâs constructed with Hillsborough bluestone, the volcanic stone that makes up the majority of west campus. Duke University purchased a quarry in Hillsborough to build west campus & the 17 shades of the stone give the college a very distinct look.
.
This stunning Collegiate Gothic building is 210 feet tall, which makes it one of the tallest buildings in Durham. Itâs also one of the tallest college campus bell towers in the world. The bell tower can be seen peeking up over the tree line for miles around.

Durham St Joseph
In the 1970âs when the St. Josephâs AME Church congregation moved to a new church home, the original structure became the catalyst for the formation of the St. Josephâs Historic Foundation (SJHF). The Foundation was incorporated in 1975 with the intention of preserving the embellished old sanctuary and adapting it for cultural and civic events. SJHFâs mission is preserving and advancing the heritage and culture of historic Hayti and the African American experience through programs that benefit the broader community locally, nationally and globally. The church complex, renamed the Hayti Heritage Center, is listed on the register of national historic landmarks. Descendants of the original residents of the district once known as âBlack Wall Streetâ continue to visit the Center along with other residents and visitors from surrounding areas.
