The Chicago Temple, the dramatic building that houses the First United Methodist Church of Chicago, the First United Methodist Church parsonage, the Chapel in the Sky, and a host of private offices and commercial enterprises, is one hundred years old this year. Dedicated on September 28, 1924, the Temple was immediately one of the most recognizable and noteworthy buildings in downtown Chicago. Today, it continues to attract visitors and worshipers from around the world.

We will celebrate this important milestone throughout the year. Currently, a slide presentation of Chicago Temple construction photographs is on display in the Clark Street lobby of the Temple building. Other items of historical interest are pictured below.
