Description
This is the Oakland Memorial Chapel at Alcorn State University in Lorman, Mississippi. Building began on the chapel in 1838, making it the oldest building on the Alcorn State University grounds. At the time it was built, this was the main building of Oakland College, a Presbyterian Church College endowed by several of the wealthy planters in the area.
I visited the Oakland Chapel to see the iron steps which were formerly the front steps of the Windsor mansion better known as the Windsor Ruins.
Oakland Memorial Chapel became a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
