The former First Church of Christ, Scientist, built in 1897, is a historic Neo-Classical-style church located at 4017 S. Drexel Boulevard in Chicago, Illinois. It was designed by noted Chicago-based architect Solon Spencer Beman, who was renowned for the churches and other buildings that he designed in the United States. In 1923 an Aeolian-Skinner organ was installed in the church. On May 7, 1950, Grant Memorial AME Church bought the building and is its present owner. First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago, is no longer in existence.
