Description

After a fire destroyed the roof and much of the nave of the current church in 1900, it was rebuilt by architect and life-long church member Howard Van Doren Shaw. Influenced by the English and American Arts and Crafts movement, Shaw and Bartlett gave the church the beautiful design and decoration that it has today.
In the 1880's the great captains of Chicago industry such as George Pullman, Marshall Field and Potter Palmer attended this church.
