Moody Church

The Moody Church (often mistakenly referred to as Moody Memorial Church) is a historic Protestant (Christian) church in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The Moody Church building is located at the corners of North Avenue, North Clark and LaSalle Street. Construction on the building, designed by architects Fugard and Knapp, was begun in 1924 and completed a year later. The formal dedication was held on November 8, 1925.

Visually, it was intended to bridge the gap between the traditional Roman Catholic cathedral and the typical Protestant church...
