The congregation of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church laid the cornerstone of its first building on the northwest corner of Chicago Avenue and LaSalle Street in 1863, and both the congregation and its church expanded over the next five years.  The English Gothic structure seen here, which could hold a thousand worshippers, was dedicated in the summer of 1868.
