Built in 1857, Holy Family is the second oldest church in Chicago and one of only five buildings to survive the Great Fire of 1871. One of the best examples of Victorian Gothic architecture in the country, its 15,000 square-foot interior boasts 1,000 seats for services and a 65-foot ceiling throughout the sanctuary. Among its many notable features are the oldest stained glass windows in the city, a world-class pipe organ and a 226-foot bell tower, once Chicago's tallest point.
