The CAC’s annual Churches by Bus tour celebrates 25 years in 2020. Two CAC docents who lead the tour will share the evolution of church architecture in Chicago and highlight three local examples.
The CAC’s popular, annual Churches by Bus tour celebrates 25 years in 2020. For this silver anniversary online program, Co−Tour Directors and CAC docents Joanne Linzer and David Utech review the evolution of church architecture, from Roman basilicas to Gothic cathedrals, and highlight three local examples: Old St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, built in 1856 and a survivor of the Great Chicago Fire; St. James Cathedral, also originally from 1856 but destroyed in the fire and rebuilt; and Saint James Chapel, built in 1920 and modeled after the 13th century masterpiece Sainte-Chappelle in Paris.
Tickets are $8 for non-members; free with registration fee for CAC members
