KALAMAZOO COLLEGE

Miller Davis served as construction manager for renovations to Kalamazoo College’s Stetson Chapel. The extensive renovations restored and protected the building, which was originally constructed by Miller Davis in 1931 and is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places.

The recent renovation project focused on the exterior of the bell tower. The building was sealed, all windows were replaced and the brick was repointed. Additionally, the project included repairing the plaster and repainting the chapel’s interior.

Stetson Chapel, noticeable from many viewpoints in Kalamazoo, is an integral part of campus and the Kalamazoo community. The Chapel has hosted many famous people, including J. Edgar Hoover, Ralph Abernathy and Aleksandr Kerensky. Stetson Chapel’s restoration allows it to continue being used for community events, weddings and concerts for years to come.
