Before the United States Government forced the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa nations from their land in 1833 with the Treaty of Chicago, the land this church was built upon had been their home for 1000's of years. Like other Native American tribes, they shared their knowledge of agriculture to the first Europeans to travel here, and showed them trade routes between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River.
The early white settlers of Ravenswood mostly Swedish, German, and Irish immigrants, built greenhouses and became truck farmers.
Even without knowing any of the history of this old church, it is attractive enough to stop to take a few photos.
The All Saints Episcopal Church was built in 1884 in what had become a community of Ravenswood and today it is considered the oldest wood-frame church in the city of Chicago.
They provide weekly meals, a food pantry and health services each week, but I loved that twice a year they transform their Community Kitchen into the
All Saints’ Café, a fine dining experience for our hungry neighbors. Café guests enjoy the opportunity to order a gourmet multi-course meal, complete with restaurant-style menus, table cloths, live entertainment, maitre d’ service, a wait staff, beverage service, and the services of a professional (volunteer) chef.

The church building is still well maintained and also seems to be very well revitalized. I think the building was preserved thanks to the care of the community groups who use this church. This is a very good post.
How are you dear friend @ melinda010100 good day
I love the construction details and the history behind this beautiful Church.
I really like wooden buildings, this one is very well preserved despite its years
