History
Erected in 1875 for the Church of the Good Shepherd, the Chapel’s divine journey began on Hillsborough Street in Downtown Raleigh. As the congregation flourished, they desired a more expansive sanctuary which led to the chapel’s first move to Morgan Street in the early 1900s. However, as the member base continued to blossom, they considered the heart-wrenching decision to demolish the church if it was not purchased before demolition day. Raleigh redeveloper Greg Hatem caught wind of the possible tragedy, and in the 11th hour, intervened to save the Chapel.

On June 18, 2006, the 70-foot-long, 40-foot-wide, 235,000-pound structure began its second journey half a mile east to the edge of historic Oakwood. After the Chapel was safely settled in its new location on South East Street, the second task began: looking at dozens of old photos of the Chapel to ensure the team could restore it to its original glory, from ornate lighting fixtures to intricate wood trim. The Chapel has been lovingly restored to reflect the work of its original designer, Reverend Johannes Adam Simon Oertel, and the sanctuary looks like it did upon opening for its first service on Easter Sunday in 1875.

With its wooden aisles leading to a gothic cross configuration, highlighted by five clerestory windows on either side of the five-bay nave, cathedral-like ceilings, stained-glass window, and pointed arches, All Saints is an architectural treasure and one of the few left of its kind.
