Christ Episcopal Church 623 N. 5th (1884)

Burlington, Iowa 52601, United States

Created By: Heritage Hill Association

Information

Designed by Burlington architect Charles A. Dunham, Christ Episcopal Church was originally referred to as an early English type architecture. A round tower terminating in a square belfry covered with a high-pitched gallery is one of the more unique features of the building. The original interior walls were decorated in polychrome by Burlington artist David H. Johnson, who also did the interior of the first Baptist Church. The side windows of colored glass were made and designed by Dr. Johnson, the rector. This church has endured two fires. The one thing that has not been harmed in each of these two fires is a stunning stained glass window that was created by Tiffany.
