Emmanuel Episcopal Church

LaGrange, Cook County

Emmanuel Episcopal Church is an excellent example of Late Gothic Revival architecture as shown in its emphasis on verticality, cruciform floor plan, stepped buttresses, and crocketed spire. The property is also recognized for its artistic value as demonstrated in its stained glass and fixtures. The complex includes the chapel (1925), the Parish House (1938), and the South Building (1962), all designed by John Neal Tilton, Jr.  Emmanuel Episcopal Church retains a high level of integrity as few physical changes have been made to the complex since its construction.
