Built in 1876, Emmanuel Gallery is Denver’s oldest-standing church structure. In 1876, Bishop John F. Spaulding built an Episcopalian Chapel, now the Emmanuel Gallery, featuring Romanesque and Gothic architecture. In 1903 the building was purchased and converted to a synagogue. In 1958, services ceased and the synagogue was sold. From 1958 to 1973 the owner Wolfgang Pogzeba used the church as an artist’s studio, and in 1969, Emmanuel Chapel was approved for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1973, Emmanuel Chapel became part of the Auraria Campus. The chapel is now used as an art gallery where students, professors and local artists exhibit their work. Free to all visitors.
