Second Presbyterian Church |
One of Chicago’s
architectural gems, the 1874 Gothic Revival exterior of Second Presbyterian
Church was designed by architect James Renwick.
After a devastating
fire in 1900, Howard Van Doren Shaw and Frederic Clay Bartlett
redesigned the interior of the building in the Arts and Crafts style.
In
addition to the original interior fixtures and murals, there are more than
twenty stained-glass windows created by artists such as Louis C. Tiffany,
Healy and Millet, William Fair Kline, and Sir Edward
Burne-Jones.

and to hear a presentation by Friends of Historic Second Church before touring
the church.
