Baker Chapel

Baker Chapel is a 2,739 square foot wood frame structure with a functioning 30-foot tall bell tower built in 1896. It was designed by Aspinwall and Coulter as a non-denominational site for reflection and worship.

Baker Chapel is a non-denominational chapel designed to accommodate the slope of the hill and is defined by its one-story, gabled nave, prominent square corner tower and side entrances. A stone alcove was added on the north side of the building in 1924 to house an organ donated by the patients. The building is distinguished by its construction materials: large-scale, rough-cut stones complemented by shingled surfaces in the gables. The building was re-roofed in the 1980s with cedar shingles. The interior, which seats seventy-five, is entirely finished in natural wood, lit by 1897 stained-glass windows in the nave and a large, tripartite, 1924 window in the south facade. It was built by master stone mason Martin Miner Watson.

The Chapel is flanked by XX stained glass windows. Three of these windows, located behind the altar, are believed to be designed by Tiffany. Two rows of pews that run the length of the Chapel can seat up to 120 people.

Baker Chapel has been restored and is in use for weddings and other events and is available for rental.
