Church
Second Presbyterian Church
1936 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60616, USA
Arts and Crafts sanctuary with nine Tiffany stained-glass windows, rebuilt after a fire gutted its interior.
This guide to Second Presbyterian Church in Chicago starts with Louis Comfort Tiffany's refusal to paint stained glass at all, and the techniques his studio invented instead to make the glass itself carry color and light. You'll hear about the nine Tiffany windows installed here between nineteen oh one and nineteen twenty seven, in a sanctuary rebuilt after a fire gutted the original interior in nineteen hundred. Look for the Peace Window and see how its color still shifts as the sun moves outside.
