The Fourth Presbyterian Church is located on Michigan Avenue and Delaware. It is pretty much at the north most point of the Magnificent Mile - directly across from the famous John Hancock Tower. It was built in 1912 and has some beautiful archways and a cute little courtyard. It was a perfect place to stop between Lincoln Park and Downtown. Below are a few photos I took from this location.
The best thing about this church is that each year, they have an awareness exhibit where they tie a bunch of ribbons to their trees lining Michigan Avenue to draw the public's attention to a particular social issue. Here are photos from last year's demonstration. It's so crazy to see these beautiful blue trees from a distance... and then you get closer and realize it is thousands of ribbons tied to the tree... and then you get even closer and read the sign and realize that perhaps it's not a beautiful thing at all. I am really looking forward to seeing what they have in store for this year.
