Join Docomomo US/Chicago for a tour of hidden gems in the northwest suburb of Des Plaines!
We will visit a pair of “sister” churches designed by prolific architect Charles Stade: Immanuel Lutheran Church; built in 1956, and St. Mary Catholic Church, built in 1970. The tour also includes All Saints Cemetery, with its sprawling New Formalist mausoleum (Harley Ellis Devereaux, 1972) and its Postmodernist outdoor crypts (Mekus Tanager, 2001). The highlight of the tour is an exclusive visit to the Carmelite monastery designed in 1959 by Gaul & Voosen for a cloistered community of religious sisters.
Advanced registration is required.
