From the Estey website:
"rebuilt by Estey in 1944"
"Seventh Church of Christ, Scientist, is the most recent in a series of fine buildings erected by this religion since the beginning of this century. An organ has been purchased for this new edifice from the Estey Company of Brattleboro, Vermont. It is to have three manuals and tubular-pneumatic action. An artistic display of gold-bronze pipes will be placed across the front of the auditorium."
The Musician, February 1904
This organ was moved to the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Palos Park, Illinois in 1976. Relocation was done by Frank Saunter and Sons.
The following is a description of the building taken from an item in the Chicago Tribune of April 26, 1908:
"The new building is at 2385-93 Kenmore Avenue, and has been erected and furnished at a cost of $112,000. On the main floor is a foyer 20x127 feet, from which entrance to the auditorium is made. The auditorium is finished in gray and white, with maghogany pews which provide seats for 1,500 persons. At the west end of the auditorium are the readersโ desks, and back of them is a large three manual pipe organ."
The building was demolished before 1979 and services were then held in graystone two flat which the congregation had earlier purchased. Later, a new small one story reading room structure was constructed at the northwest corner of Berwyn and Kenmore and the two flat structure was demolished to provide for on-site parking.
