Evans Chapel


Evans Chapel is one of the more famous buildings on the University of Denver Campus. It was built in 1876 at the corner of 13th & Bannock Streets in downtown Denver, but was soon moved to the DU campus to make room for a new Home Depot (later razed). The chapel is very popular for weddings. Years ago on Saturday afternoons the bathrooms next to the Bookstore were often filled with the wedding party and their guests - some primping, some laughing, some crying (often hysterically), and some even changing into gowns and tuxedos. Now that the bathrooms have been incorporated into the Bookstore, Saturdays aren't nearly as exciting. Most of the excitement these days comes from Wally regaling us with interesting facts from recent books he has read, such as "The History of Salt."
