Built on a slight rise overlooking the east end of University Lake, the chapel at the University of Richmond was given by the wife of Henry Mansfield Cannon, a local tobacconist who died in 1907. Since its opening in 1929, this striking Gothic chapel has played an important role in campus life. Besides being used for religious services for students and members of the community, it serves admirably as the site for cultural events such as concerts and recitals, academic assemblies and honors convocations. Many students who met at the University have been married in the chapel.

A Hammond organ installed in 1936 was replaced in 1961 by a pipe organ designed by the German organ builder,m Rudolph von Beckerath. Three workmen from Hamburg, Germany installed the organ in nine weeks. The 1,200 pipes of tin, lead and wood range in size from 16 feet to one smaller and thinner than a soda straw. Recognized as one of the finest installations in the country, the organ is included in H.J. Winterton's A Collection of Noted Organs and Organists of the World.

In 1976, the Chapel underwent a major renovation, which included carpeting the tiled aisles, reshaping the chancel, enlarging the choir loft and extending rich wood paneling around the organ case.
