The Wade Memorial Chapel is a historic chapel in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. The Neoclassical chapel was built in 1901 in Cleveland's Lake View Cemetery,[1] which is the location of over 104,000 burials.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1] The chapel is located at the intersection of Lake and Chapel Roads, near the cemetery offices and north of the Garfield Memorial.[3]
The chapel was constructed in honor of Jeptha Wade,[4] a Cleveland industrialist who founded Western Union Telegraph.[5] Its interior, which is largely decorated with glass,[6] was designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany.[4] The interior walls of the chapel walls contain large mosaics consisting of thousands of glass pieces showcasing the 'River of Life' and the 'River of Death.'[7]
