Chicago Temple Building, Methodist cathedral in The Loop, Chicago, United States.

The Chicago Temple Building reaches 173 meters high and contains three sanctuaries, with the main space seating 1,000 people on the ground floor.

The First United Methodist Church congregation established in 1831 decided to construct this Gothic Revival skyscraper between 1923 and 1924.

The sanctuary features stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes alongside representations of the Chicago skyline and local religious institutions.

The structure dedicates floors 5 through 21 to office spaces, while the first four levels serve religious functions for the Methodist congregation.

The Sky Chapel sits 400 feet above street level at the base of the spire, making it the highest placed worship space in existence.
