Julian Abele was a prominent African-American architect, and chief designer in the offices of Horace Trumbauer. He contributed to the design of more than 400 buildings, including Harvard University’s Widener Memorial Library, Monmouth University's Shadow Lawn Mansion, the Central Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art; and was the primary designer for the campus of Duke University. Abele's contributions to the Trumbauer firm were great, but the only building for which he claimed authorship during Trumbauer's lifetime was the Duke University Chapel.
