| Notes | Chicago Temple (First Methodist) the world's tallest and Chicago's oldest church, is located in the heart of the downtown Loop, having occupied this site for 116 years. Its spire, floodlighted at night, is an impressive sight. The Deagon Carillon is heard throughout the downtown area. The "Sky Parsonage" and the "Sky Chapel" are located in the tower, 330 and 400 feet above the street. An active weekday program culminates on Sunday, with overflow congregations coming from all the states and many countries around the world. The church is open daily for meditation and prayer. |
