Still standing today, this compact jewel box structure, with its dazzling stained-glass facade, provides a spiritual experience combined with a mid-century modern aesthetic. Dedicated from its inception to the lively interchange between religion and arts, the congregation now stands at a crossroads, re-envisioning its own future along with that of its cherished building. Join cultural anthropologist Alanna E. Cooper for this lively discussion about the entangled relationship between architecture, community, religion and the arts.Don't miss this opportunity for a private viewing of this amazing space, to exchange ideas, and expand your network within the Chicago preservation community.
