Fourth Presbyterian Church Concerts

One of Chicago’s iconic buildings. It’s a very beautiful and historic gothic architecture. We always passed by it on Michigan Avenue but didn’t have a chance to go inside. During Christmas, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra host a holiday concert in the church, we were lucky and got tickets to go. It was an amazing experience. We enjoyed the music in the church a lot.

Absolutely gorgeous exterior, with green vines climbing the stone facade and hogwarts like courtyard to walk around. It’s on magnificent mile and a must see

Beautiful and historical building. It’s amazing how you step into the courtyard and feel peace. Even though you are so close to the busy road. Wish we could’ve gone inside but we were a little too late. Great place to just stop by and see while in the area.

It’s beautiful! I haven’t visited for like 3.5 years, but I still remember reading the inscription on the fountain and wondering where I could find the verse, and I found it a few days later: Habakkuk 2:14 (KJV) “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
