Specification and Disposition were developed by Builder in consultation with Dr. Rudolf Zuiderveld, professor of organ at Illinois College, Jacksonville, and organist for the church. Expected time of completion: Summer 2001
This church, now in building from 1872, was attended by Mary Todd Lincoln after returning to Illinois following President Lincoln's assassination; they regularly attended services with this congregation before his presidency. Nave has a group of outstanding Tiffany windows, one of which was featured at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.
