About this property

Wade Memorial Chapel is a Neoclassical chapel and receiving vault located at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. It was donated to the cemetery by Jeptha Wade II in memory of his Presbyterian grandfather, cemetery and Western Union co-founder Jeptha Wade. The overall design was by the newly founded Cleveland area architectural firm of Hubbell & Benes, and was their first commission. The interior's overall design is by Louis Comfort Tiffany based on a preexisting 1893 design. Wade Memorial Chapel includes a stained glass window of the Resurrection of Christ, along with mosaics of Old Testament prophets and Christian saints, in addition to several verses from the Bible. The mosaics include engravings of the works of mercy given by Jesus in Matthew 25. Wade Memorial Chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 18, 1973.
