Dedicated April 2, 1946, Danforth Chapel was designed in a Gothic Revival style by alumnus Edward W. Tanner and built in part by German masons who were prisoners of war at a camp near Lawrence. An addition completed in fall 2007 includes a bridal party dressing room. KU's is one of 24 Danforth chapels financed largely by William H. Danforth, chair of the Ralston Purina Co. of St. Louis.
