The Summerall Chapel was erected in 1936 and named after the president of The Citadel, Charles P. Summerall.

The cornerstone is at the northeast corner of the building. It says: "Erected 1936. Jos. E. Hart Grand Master of Masons A.L. 5956. Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works. Project No. S.C. 1046-R."

On November 11, 2004, a ceremony was held to dedicate two flagpoles near the front portion of the Chapel donated by Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Johnson in memory of their son, Kris Johnson, a member of the Class of 2004 from Oscar Company. He died unexpectedly at home during spring break 2003. (Sources: Michael D. Blackwell, Remember Now Thy Creator in the Days of Thy Youth. pp. 105-141.
