Michigan Avenue and Chestnut. The Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago was founded in February 1871 when the congregations of Westminster Presbyterian Church and North Presbyterian Church merged. On October 8 of that same year, the great Chicago fire destroyed Fourth Church's first worship space the very night the young congregation dedicated it new home!" -from website. In 1874, they reopened on Rush and Superior (NW corner); in 1914, they returned to Chestnut and Michigan, where it still stands today.
