Mosque Maryam, Islamic place of worship in South Shore, Chicago.
The limestone building at 7351 South Stony Island Avenue contains a large meeting hall and separate prayer areas for men and women.
The structure, initially constructed as a Greek Orthodox church between 1948 and 1952, became the Nation of Islam headquarters after its purchase in 1972.
The mosque functions as Temple Number 2 of the Nation of Islam, hosting regular Jumuah prayers and religious education programs for the community.
Located near the Muhammad University of Islam, the facility maintains daily prayer schedules and provides parking spaces for regular worshippers.
The transformation from North America's largest Greek Orthodox church to a mosque was funded through a three million dollar loan from Libya.
