- All Faiths Chapel is a chapel belonging to the Kansas State University campus in Manhattan, Kansas. The chapel was dedicated as Danforth Chapel on October 9, 1949. This was a small chapel for meditation, which could accommodate less than a hundred people. In the years after 1952, the chapel was expanded and completed to designs by Charles W. Shaver and Theodore Chadwick. Under the direction of Robert Hays, plans were made for a pipe organ to be built by the Austin Organ Company. The organ was designed by James B. Jamison. When the chapel was dedicated on April 15, 1956, the organ was not yet constructed. James Jamison died on May 29, 1957. But it took until 1961 before the organ was delivered. It was first played by Robert Hays on October 8, 1961. The official inaugural concert was given by Robert Baker on November 19, 1961.
- In 2021-2022 the organ was restored by Quimby Pipe Organs. This company had the organ in maintenance since 2010.
