Summary

The classical revival style of architecture made famous by the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago left its mark on one of the most sustained classical building movements in American architectural history: the Christian Science church. Characterized at the turn of the century by a middle-class membership that was over 75 percent female, Christian Science emphasized a radical spiritual healing and suggested civic reform solutions based on an idealistic and pragmatic individualism. Its architecture served as a focal point for discussions concerning architecture as a major element of religious and social change.
