<strong>Norton</strong> <strong>Chapel</strong><br />
<strong>Norton</strong> <strong>Chapel</strong><br />
was built in 19 64 and named<br />
a fter Dr. Arthur H. No rton, long-time president of<br />
<strong>Keuka</strong> <strong>College</strong> and a proponent of a large and arch ite<br />
c t u ra l ly significant chapel. It was dedicated Oct. 10 ,<br />
19 64 as part of the observance of the 75 th annive rs a ry<br />
of the founding of <strong>Keuka</strong> <strong>College</strong>. It was const ru c te d<br />
to serve as a physical symbol of the centrality of re l igion<br />
in adve n t u rous living, as well as to provide fa c i l ities<br />
for wo rship, st u d y, and re fl e c t i o n .<br />
M a te rials for the building we re ga th e red from dista n t<br />
p a rts of the Un i ted Sta tes as well as seve ral fo re i g n<br />
c o u n t ries. The timber trusses are natura l ly fi n i s h e d<br />
l a m i n a ted Douglas fir grown in Oregon, and the ceiling<br />
is cedar decking from the Pa c i fic Coast. The white<br />
marble chancel platfo rm was qu a rried in Ve rmont, th e<br />
b l own glass spheres in the ch a n d e l i e rs we re cre a ted in<br />
I ta ly, and the heavy cedar shakes shingles came fro m<br />
Canada. Also, not a single nail was used on the inte rior<br />
const ruction of the ch a p e l .<br />
A 50-member choir may be seated in the balcony<br />
behind the chancel and in front of the 2,469 orga n<br />
pipes and pro j e c ted Spanish horns of the 3-manual<br />
pedal organ built by the Sch l i cker Organ Comp a ny<br />
Inc. of Buffalo. The organ was given as a gift to th e<br />
C o l l e ge by Mrs. George Shipman Jephson of<br />
C a z e n ovia, as a memorial to her aunt, Eva n ge l i n e<br />
D e cke r. The organ was dedicated April 25, 1965 with a<br />
special re c i tal by David Craighead, head of the orga n<br />
d e p a rtment at the Eastman School of Music in<br />
Ro ch e ste r.<br />
The chapel seats 650 with seating provided in th e<br />
