The Willard Memorial Chapel and the adjoining Welch Memorial Hall are a National Historic Landmark designed by Andrew Jackson Warner (1833–1910) of Rochester, New York, which feature the stained-glass windows and interior decoration of Louis Comfort Tiffany. They are the last surviving complete installation by Tiffany in its original location.
In 1892–1894, the Willard Chapel was built and furnished in memory of Dr. Sylvester Willard and his wife, Jane Frances Case Willard, by their daughters Georgiana and Caroline Willard. The chapel was a part of the former Auburn Theological Seminary.[3]
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005.[2][4]
