Chapel Hall
History of this building:
Built in 1870, Chapel Hall was once the main hub of the university, serving as a chapel, auditorium, exhibit center, and dining hall. Chapel Hall is on the National Park Service (NPS) National Register of Historic Places.According to the NPS, "Chapel Hall is one of the finest examples of post-Civil War collegiate architecture in the U.S." They go on to describe it as, "a picturesque, brownstone, High Victorian Gothic designed by Frederick C. Withers of the leading mid-nineteenth century firm of Vaux, Withers and Co. Chapel Hall is in the Ruskinian Gothic Revival style which was popular in the 1870s, but it exhibits a restraint and fine handling of materials which creates a subdued coloristic harmony unusual in buildings in this polychrome style."

Bison Sculpture
A welded-steel sculpture representing a Bison stands in front of the Gallaudet University Field House. It was created by sculptor Ben Williams of Livingston, Montana. The sculpture was seen there and bought by the founder and president of J. W. Kaempfer Company, a D.C.-area developer of office buildings. His company used it for about 9 months in 1986, set up next to Interstate 66 in Rosslyn, Virginia, accompanying a real-estate advertising sign. Then-president of Gallaudet University, Dr. Jerry C. Lee, spotted it there and thought the perfect place for the bison sculpture would be at Gallaudet University. He persuaded Kaempfer to lend it to the University. A couple of years later, Gallaudet bought the sculpture outright, and it has guarded the Field House ever since.The 500-pound, unpainted sculpture is made from special Cor-Ten steel, which is purposely allowed to develop a coat of rust that prevents further rusting. Similar steel is used in many bridge girders and other applications where people want to avoid the need for periodic repainting. The sculptor took advantage of the rusty color and texture to suggest the color and hair of a real bison.
