USA Beck Chapel at Indiana University Bloomington
From IMU website:
In 1941, Indiana University alumni Frank O. Beck (A.B., 1894, and A.M. 1905) and Daisy Woodward Beck (A.B., 1899) gave the university an endowment for the construction of a chapel for prayer and meditation. Completed in 1956, Beck Chapel is constructed of Indiana limestone and wood from the forests of southern Indiana. Its design blends styles of religious architecture and incorporates symbols from different religious traditions.
Located steps from the IMU on the east side of the building, Beck Chapel is adjacent to Dunn Cemetery, a small family cemetery established by George G. Dunn in 1855. Chiseled on a stone pillar at one of the corners of the chapel is the inscription “Set apart by George Dunn for perpetual use as a cemetery.”
