Johnson Chapel at Amherst College

Johnson Chapel at Amherst College

Amherst (Mass.)

Erected in the years 1826-27, Johnson Chapel was named for Adam Johnson of Pelham who gave most of the money to build it. Hiram Johnson and Warren S. Howland, both of Amherst, helped with the construction. From Handbook of Amherst by Frederick H. Hitchcock, 1894: "In favorable weather the ascent of the College Chapel tower will repay the visitor. There are ninety-eight steps to climb, and the summit commands a magnificent view of the Connecticut Valley."
