The present building was erected 1907-1912 on Chapel Hill Street and named Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, South. On Sunday, June 2, 1912, Bishop John C. Kilgo, former pastor of the church and an early president of Trinity College, preached the dedication sermon. The sanctuary was designed by New York architect George W. Kramer. A blend of gothic and Romanesque revival styles, it is constructed of brick and granite with a terra cotta tile roof. The magnificent stained glass windows, given in memory of Washington Duke by his sons, James Buchanan Duke and Benjamin Newton Duke, were fashioned by Atlanta artist and craftsman, Joseph V. Llorens.

The Middle Building was constructed in l931 and provided new Sunday School classes and office for the church staff. An additional educational wing with kitchen and fellowship hall was consecrated in 1964. In 1969, a three manual Holtkamp organ of fifty-two ranks replaced the Estey organ that had served for sixty years. The sanctuary was completely renovated at that time. A unique ten bell carillon in the East Tower, installed when the sanctuary was constructed, was given by Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Stagg in memory of their mothers, Sarah Durham Stagg and Mary Duke Lyon.

In its centennial year of 1986, Duke Memorial was placed on The National Register of Historic Places. In 1989, Duke Memorial Capital Campaign for Renewal raised nearly $1 million for capital and program needs, providing for refurbishing of the office and educational buildings, including a new library and a long-awaited elevator.

Duke Memorial is a leader in religious and spiritual life and in community service in Durham. Situated on a hill overlooking the downtown tobacco factories where it came into being, the church is committed to its founding vision expressed by Washington Duke: "a church for the masses."
