Seney-Stovall Chapel – UGA 2617 (1882–1885, Category 1). Located adjacent to the Lucy Cobb Institute building is the Seney-Stovall Chapel. The building was completed by 1885 to support the school. The university used the building as a theater until the Fine Arts Building was completed in 1941. Like the Lucy Cobb Institute building, the chapel deteriorated until funds were secured to renovate it in the 1980s. Repairs continued on the chapel until 1997.
The Seney-Stovall Chapel is constructed of orange-red brick, and is octagonal in shape. The structure is crowned with an eight-sided conical roof supported by brackets under the cornice. A portion of the facade projects outward from the main facade by several feet, and rises above the roof line. It has a gable roof. The main entrance is protected by a one-story gingerbread porch. A wing extends from the rear to house stage, dressing rooms, and storage areas. Each of the other sides of the building features three vertical windows that extend from the main floor level to the cornice. The upper part of the windows feature wood paneling with a raised design. A brick stringcourse surrounds the octagon. The sides also contain recessed panels, which conveys the appearance that the corners are pilasters.408 The building is listed in the National Register and is assessed as a Category 1 resource.
