Chicago Temple Building
Chicago Temple Building, Methodist cathedral in The Loop, Chicago, United States.
The Chicago Temple Building is a Gothic Revival skyscraper that contains three worship spaces, including a main sanctuary on the ground floor. Upper floors house office spaces for various tenants.
The Methodist congregation, established in 1831, built this Gothic structure in 1923 and 1924. The project combined religious tradition with modern skyscraper design.
The stained glass windows in the main sanctuary depict biblical stories alongside views of the Chicago skyline and local religious sites. They visually connect faith with the city's urban landscape.
Visitors can explore the main sanctuary in the lower section and view the architecture throughout the building. The different levels are typically open for those interested in visiting.
The Sky Chapel sits roughly 120 meters above street level at the base of the spire and ranks among the world's highest worship spaces. Few visitors know about this hidden room tucked inside the building's upper reaches.
