DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
St. James received the status of cathedral in 1928 after the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul was destroyed in a fire in 1921, but the arrangement was terminated in 1931. On May 3, 1955, St. James was again designated the cathedral and was formally set apart on June 4, 1955.
Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:
The first building for St. James Episcopal was at Cass and Illinois. Moved in 1857 to Cass & Huron to a building that was not completed until 1870. This church appears in the first Pilcher ledger on a list of churches and organs destroyed in the 1871 Chicago fire. Cass, north of the river, is now part of Wabash Ave. Rebuilt on the same site, using some of the fire-scarred walls.
