Grace and St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Colorado Springs

Grace and Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church holds a rich history dating back to its founding in 1872. Over the years, the church has undergone several stages of development, resulting in the impressive building complex that stands today. The original structure, completed in 1895, continues to serve as the parish hall, reflecting the church's longstanding presence in the community.

One of the most notable features of Grace and Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church is its tower building, a striking architectural gem reminiscent of Magdalen College at Oxford University in England. Designed by renowned architects Frohman, Robb, and Little, who also contributed to notable projects such as Saint Thomas Church in New York City and the Washington National Cathedral in Washington D.C., the tower building stands as a testament to their skill and vision. Completed in 1926, this iconic structure adds to the church's allure and grandeur.

Beyond its architectural significance, Grace and Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church serves as a spiritual and communal hub for its members and the broader community.
