Grace Episcopal Church, Episcopal church building in Printer's Row, Chicago, United States.
Grace Episcopal Church is a three-story redbrick building on South Dearborn Street featuring design elements from the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century. The structure houses both worship space and Grace Place, a venue that hosts weddings, receptions, and community events.
The church was founded in 1851 as one of Chicago's oldest Episcopal congregations and relocated several times after the Great Fire of 1871. The current building with its Arts and Crafts features represents the congregation's continuity and adaptation over many decades.
The congregation gathers here for regular worship and community fellowship, creating a space where people explore faith together. The building serves as a meeting place for neighborhood residents seeking spiritual connection and social engagement.
The building is easily accessible via South Dearborn Street in the Printer's Row neighborhood and offers access to multiple floors with different spaces. Visitors should note that various areas are actively used for events and ceremonies, so it is wise to inquire in advance about visiting.
The circular sanctuary won recognition from the Chicago AIA for its innovative use of wooden support structures in interior design. This creative solution demonstrates the craftsmanship that defined the Arts and Crafts movement.
