Fort Lawton’s Post Chapel (Building 632) was constructed in 1942 from standardized U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps plans in a traditional religious vernacular style. It is the only building (other than the bus shelter) within the District that remains from the World War II era. The military used the chapel until 1974, and it was acquired by the City in 1978. It was designated a City of Seattle landmark in 2005 because of its historical association with the fort during World War II.

The Chapel is located southwest of Officers Row and southeast of the Parade Ground, on an oval site of approximately three acres. It is surrounded by foundation plantings, a lawn and numerous pine and birch trees. East of the building is a small Korean War memorial in the form of a grove of oak trees and a stone marker.

To the west is a developed lawn area with a recently constructed stone retaining wall and plantings. The top of the wall has interpretive signs about the natural history of the park.

The chapel itself is a vernacular structure with Georgian Revival details, including a simple, square steeple. Exterior walls are clad with painted clapboard and the windows are tall sixteen-over-sixteen light sash with smaller windows at each end.
