Rockefeller Chapel is a Gothic Revival chapel on the campus of the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois. A monumental example of Collegiate Gothic architecture, it was meant by patron John D. Rockefeller to be the "central and dominant feature" of the campus; at 200.7 feet[1] it is by covenant the tallest building on campus and seats 1700. The current dean is Maurice Charles, an Episcopal priest.[2]
