Built in 1832, the Chapel has a temple form with a modified Greek hexastyle portico. The columns of the portico are fluted, and there are corner pilasters. Originally, a square tower was located over the vestibule, but a scaffold type bell tower replaced it prior to 1935. Demosthenian Hall, constructed in 1824, was the meeting place of the Demosthenian Literary Society (organized in 1803). The traditional Federal style, rectangular structure has a three-bay front and sides. Its roof is hipped with flared eaves. The stoop is stone.
