Unorganized mission located at 3115 Wallace, Chicago, Ill

Mission proposed in 2005

Grace was founded as a mission in 1879 and quickly grew to an organized parish by 1881. The congregation had outgrown its first home, a small wooden Gothic building on Forest Avenue, by 1895, when they bought land on Lake Street for the current building. Grace Church broke ground for the present building in 1901, and the nave was completed in 1905. Thereafter, the congregation continued to build according to the original 1898 blueprints until the church and its interior appointments were completed in 1967.

Established in 1958.

Started as a mission in 1945; became a parish in 1951; church building dedicated in 1961; due to declining membership, the church discussed the possibility of merger as early as 1993 (Vestry minutes). The building was for sale in 1995 and sold in 1996 to another church (pentacostal). It is not clear if the Church of Mary Magdalen closed or merged with another congregation.
