History
Founded in 1868, south of Madison Street, in the vicinity of Jackson Park. After the great Chicago fire, the church experienced much growth and capital and needed a larger building. A new church was built and opened in December of 1885. In 1942, the Cathedral Shelter moved to the Church of the Epiphany. The Church of the Epiphany was landmarked by the city in the mid-1990s and was closed in 2011 due to a dwindling congregation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. In 2012, a Friends of Epiphany group met several times to discuss options for use of the building.
