The Gothic spire of the Chicago Temple glows gold against the dusk in this poster. Completed in 1924 to designs by Holabird & Roche, the neo-Gothic tower at Clark and Washington Streets houses the First United Methodist Church of Chicago beneath its office floors. Measured from street level to the tip of its spire, at 568 feet, it is often called the tallest church building in the world. The poster captures it the way Chicagoans saw it in the evening, the spire catching the last light above the Loop. The artist and date are not recorded here.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
