Castleton Medical College Building

The Castleton Medical College Building, now known as the Old Chapel, is a historic structure located on the Castleton University campus in Vermont. Established in 1818, it was the first medical college in Vermont and the first private degree-granting medical school in the United States. Constructed in 1821, it is the oldest surviving medical school building in the country. The building features a unique architectural design with a two-stage tower and is currently used for special meetings and performances. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in the history of medical education in America.
