Three Beautiful, Historical Churches plus Lunch

Join Donna Whitlow as she takes you to Chicago to visit: St. James Cathedral, St. Michael Church and the 2nd Presbyterian Church.

2nd Presbyterian Church

The Gothic Revival building was built in 1874. The church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as a Chicago Landmark. The church contains more than twenty stained glass windows by artists such as Louis C. Tiffany. There are over 175 representations of angels in the church, 13 Pre-Raphaelite murals by Bartlett, and myriad other visual treasures that make this church a place of truly remarkable beauty.

Episcopal Cathedral of St James

The stenciled nave, a chorus of color, is one of the nation's finest Victorian interiors. It was designed in 1888 by Edward Neville Stent, a student of William Morris. The Church tower still bears the scars of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

St Michael Church

Originally built in 1871 and located in the Old Town of Chicago. The church was one of six buildings to 'survive' the path of the Chicago fire of 1871, although heavily damaged, then rebuilt. Inside is sixteen Tiffany stained glass windows, twelve large windows depicting scenes from the life of Jesus and the Blessed Mother were placed in the church, six were place on either side of the nave; and four smaller windows were placed in the sanctuary.

Lunch will be at Orso's Italian Restaurant. Relax & take in the beautiful setting of this restaurant with it's pressed tin ceilings, chandeliers from the old playboy mansion and wonderful stained glass. If it is nice out the day of the tour, we may eat outside on their patio which is also a great setting with a large grape vine serving as the awning.
