Built in stuccoed brick with a simple Doric portico, your Miller Chapel has served Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey since 1834. Built by Charles Steadman in stuccoed brick with a simple Doric portico, it has been in continuous use since its completion in 1834. As the chapel of the oldest Presbyterian Seminary in the United States, this building has sheltered many of the most important Presbyterian theologians, the great figures of the Princeton Theology.
Step inside—or imagine the plan: designed in the Reformed tradition with a single worship space that unifies choir, congregants, and clergy around a central pulpit, the architecture itself emphasizes the proclamation of the Word of God. The narthex carries plaques honoring Samuel Miller, after whom the chapel is named, alongside Charles Hodge, Archibald Alexander Hodge, Caspar Wistar Hodge, Sr., and B. B. Warfield. The chapel originally faced Mercer Street to the east and stood slightly behind Alexander Hall; at one time its symmetry was meant to be completed by a twin building flanking Alexander Hall, mirroring the early campus rhythm you can still sense here.
Notice the stuccoed brick and Doric portico, then picture Alexander Hall and Mercer Street nearby.
