The Visitors Chapel AME is a historic church building at 319 Church Street in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick building, designed in a distinctive combination of Classical and Gothic Revival styles by J.H. Northington and built in 1913. The church has a Greek cruciform plan with a dome at the center, with a Classical gable-front flanked by towers with Gothic windows. An African Methodist Episcopal congregation is believed to have existed in Hot Springs since the 1870s; this building is the fourth it is known to have built. It is named in honor of the many outsiders who come to worship with the regular congregants.[2]
The building was listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
