Hampton University Clock Tower
Designed by J. Cleveland Cady and built in 1886, the architectural style of the chapel is Italian Romanesque Revival.
The bell tower stands 150 ft. high and displays a clock on all four sides.
The twelve bells, the largest of which weighs 2,000 lbs., toll on the hour and can be heard throughout the campus. As you enter the chapel, note the over-sized wooden doors. They were built on a grand scale to welcome all those who enter. The woodwork, furniture, and iron work on the interior of the chapel are the handiwork of student craftsmen.
The chapel is still used today as a non-denominational sanctuary.
