Significance: Originally designed by noted architect James Renwick and built in 1874, Second Presbyterian Church was later remodeled in 1900 due to devastating fire that destroyed the interior. The subsequent interior, executed by architect Howard Van Doren Shaw and artist Frederick Clay Bartlett, is a tour de force of the Arts and Crafts style and remains the finest of its type in Chicago.
