Architectural Rendering of Emmanuel Church and Parish House, Rockford, Illinois
Architect Alfred Smith from Chicago produced this drawing to demonstrate how a new and larger sanctuary might be connected to the Fairfield Memorial Parish House. This particular concept was not used in the final approved project. The new church was eventually constructed in 1957 and was attached to the Fairfield Memorial Parish House. Also see photo 88.122.775.
