Hendricks Chapel, located on the Shaw Quadrangle at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, is a multi-faith chapel completed in 1929 and designed by architects Dwight James Baum and John Russell Pope. Built of brick and limestone, the octagonal, domed structure exemplifies Georgian Colonial Revival style, featuring a classical portico supported by columns in the Palladian tradition. Funded by a bequest from Francis Hendricks, a former Syracuse mayor and longtime university trustee, in honor of his wife Eliza Jane Hendricks, the chapel serves as the spiritual center of the university, hosting over ten chaplaincies. Since its addition to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as part of the Comstock Tract buildings, Hendricks Chapel has remained a notable center of religious and cultural diversity, deliberately maintaining an absence of specific religious symbols to function as a welcoming sanctuary for people of all faiths.
