Housed at Church of the Epiphany (Chicago, Ill)

Created not to raise funds for a Cathedral, but to record the names of those desiring a cathedral in the city of Chicago, in order to demonstrate the level of interest.

Established after the fire destroyed the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul to carry on the dream of building a new cathedral and to care for the property where the old cathedral resided.

Beginning in 1852, some churchmen in Chicago began to plan for a cathedral. Debate over whether to establish such an establishment raged for several years. In 1861, the former Church of Saint Andrew's Parish was enlarged and called the Bishop's Church. From 1862 to the present, the Annual Convention has always been held in the "Bishop's Church" as it was being called. In 1866, the title Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul was officially used by the Bishop. In 1871, the Cathedral was made a permanent institution of the diocese. On March 6, 1921, the building was entirely destroyed by fire.

It is the oldest church in the Chicago area of the Anglican Communion and Episcopal tradition, having been founded in 1834.[1] Originally built as a parish church, that building was mostly destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire. Only the bell tower survived, and this was incorporated into the rebuilt church, including the soot-stained stones around the top of the tower which remain black today. St. James received the status of Pro-Cathedral in 1928 after the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul was destroyed in a fire in 1921, but the arrangement was terminated in 1931. On May 3, 1955, St. James was again designated the Cathedral and was formally set apart on June 4, 1955.
