King's Chapel, completed in 1754 at the corner of Tremont and School Streets in Boston, is a Georgian masterwork by colonial architect Peter Harrison. Originally built as a royal chapel, the structure—later known as the Stone Chapel following the American Revolution—houses an independent Unitarian congregation that has employed a Unitarian adaptation of the Book of Common Prayer since 1785. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 for its architectural significance and stands adjacent to Old City Hall. The congregation describes itself as "Unitarian Christian in theology, Anglican in worship, and congregational in governance" and is affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association.
