Chicago Temple First Methodist Church Vintage Postcard CurteichColor

This vintage postcard features a striking aerial view of the Chicago Temple (First Methodist) church spire, prominently rising above the downtown Loop skyline. The church, located at Clark and Washington Streets, is known as the world's tallest and Chicago's oldest church, having occupied its site since 1839. The postcard beautifully captures the impressive architectural details of the spire with its floodlighting noted in the description, highlighting the church's prominence in the cityscape.

Produced by CurteichColor, a well-known publisher of natural color postcards, this card showcases a classic photographic reproduction technique popular in mid-20th century postcards. The back of the card provides detailed historical and visitor information, including the pastor's name, service times, and unique features like the 'Sky Parsonage' and 'Sky Chapel' located high above the street.

Thanks for looking!
