King Memorial Chapel
Iowa, United States
King Memorial Chapel is located on the Cornell College campus in Mount Vernon, Iowa. The cornerstone was laid in 1875, and the chapel was completed in 1882. The building is a Gothic Revival design made of yellow Anamosa Limestone quarried in nearby Stone City, Iowa, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. The building's interior is largely unchanged, and still sports wood-beamed ceilings. At its highest point, the clocktower is 130 feet with four bells, one of which weighs 2,000 pounds. In 1931, the chapel was remodeled and the college installed a Moller organ, which has 3,800 pipes.
