Cathedral of Saint James (Chicago, Ill)
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.
