Hendricks Chapel is situated in the middle of the Syracuse campus, perpendicular to the Quad. Built in 1930, Hendricks was the third largest University chapel in the country at the time of its construction and seats 1,450 people. The chapel's architects were James Russell Pope and Dwight James Baum from the Class of 1909. Francis Hendricks, a state senator and SU trustee, donated the chapel honoring his late wife. The Georgia limestone and brick chapel serves all faiths. The chapel's pulpit was a gift from the Class of 1918 while the Aeolian organ was a gift of Francis Hendricks' niece, Kathryn but was replaced in 1952. Hendricks Chapel hosts a variety of events, speakers, and religious activities throughout the year.
