"Omwake-Dearborn Chapel"
Item DSC_4010. The Omwake-Dearborn Chapel remains a prominent flagship building on Catawba’s campus, The Chapel's most prominent features include its nave, lined with stone gothic arches; the chancel dominated by soaring three-paneled stained glass windows rising above the reredos; a large stained glass rose window at the rear above the balcony; and a 75-bell carillon. Although an electronic organ was in place at the time of the dedication, it was later replaced by a Cassavant Organ. Imbedded in the west wall of the narthex is a single stone from the Salisbury Cathedral in Salisbury, England, which was built in 1220.
