Portico at Fourth Presbyterian Church by taffy

Portico at Fourth Presbyterian Church

The Fourth Presbyterian Church is on prime property on North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, part of what is called the "Magnificent Mile." There's a large main building, then a courtyard surrounded by this portico and then some other structures related to the church. It's all quite beautiful. Every Rosh Hoshana and Yom Kippur, the church is used by the Sinai congregation because the temple is not large enough to accommodate all its members (and people like me who attend only once in awhile).
