The chapel was built in the middle of the 19th century for a new congregation, as there was only one Episcopal church in Raleigh, North Carolina at the time of construction.

In 1873 it was suggested that a new Episcopal Church in Raleigh be started after a disagreement over pew rentals in the city and in 1874, a piece of land was purchased on the corner of McDowell and Hillsborough Street.

Near the beginning of the 20th century the chapel moved from its original foundation to the south side of the church lot along Morgan Street as to free up space.

The chapel was transported roughly half a mile to its current location along East Street, just west of the Historic Oakwood neighborhood.
