Vine Street Christian Church Memories

Vine Street Christian Church, 249 S. Vine, 1909. In March 1909, the East Side Christian Church bought a 100 x 103 foot lot on South Vine. It was considered to be "the best lot to be had in the city" for a church. The existing frame building on East Illinois was to be moved, remodeled and veneered with brick. The move did not materialize and this building was erected instead. Old building was sold and lumber used to build a residence on the NW corner of Columbia and Pine street. The East Side Christian Church was organized in 1881 by a Rev. Black of Chicago.
