Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI (+43.0376, -87.9311)
Marquette University is a private Catholic (Jesuit) university with its main campus in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I went to visit in 2018 because of my niece Ashley’s interest in architecture and her desire to see the chapel. Because of my amazing lack of knowledge of sports, I didn’t realize that this was the same university that is regularly in the NCAA basketball March Madness. Ignorance is bliss.
There is a small chapel located on the campus. According to the plaque inside the chapel, St. Joan of Arc Chapel was erected in France around 1420. It was abandoned around 1800, and fell into ruin over the next hundred years. In the 1920s, the chapel was moved to a home on Long Island, New York, and reconstructed. After the owner died in the 1960s, the new owner donated the chapel to Marquette University. The chapel was reconstructed, and was in good shape when we visited. It is a quiet place to pause and meditate.

This really sounds like a Ship of Theseus situation. What is the chapel!?
A valid question! The stained glass windows were redesigned when they rebuilt the chapel in New York, but the stones were original; however. the placement of the stones may have changed.
