The white-painted wooden Gothic-style Confederate Memorial Chapel, located within the Boulevard Historic District and on the grounds of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, was built in 1887 to serve the veterans of the Confederate Soldiers’ Home, a large complex that then occupied much of the block. Designed by local architect M. J. Dimmock and built by Joseph Wingfield, the chapel was paid for by the Civil War veterans themselves and was dedicated to their dead comrades. The picturesque structure served these former “Rebs” until the last one died in 1941. Now maintained by the state, the Confederate Memorial Chapel is used for special occasions and as a visitor attraction. The windows contain a colorful variety of Victorian stained glass.
