Designed by James Renwick Jr. in 1850,[4] Oak Hill Cemetery Chapel is the architect's only known example of Gothic Revival church architecture in Washington, D.C.[5] It is located on the highest ridge in Oak Hill Cemetery, near the intersection of 29th and R Streets NW.

[6] The chapel is one of two structures in Oak Hill Cemetery listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the other being the Van Ness Mausoleum.

[5][6] It features a steeply designed pitched roof, buttresses, and stained glass lancet windows accented with tracery.

Although the architect of Grace Episcopal Church is unknown, there is reason to believe Renwick may have designed the building.

If this isn't the case, the person who designed the church was greatly influenced by Renwick's work.
