[1] The current structure was completed after a debate within the congregation whether the church should remain in central Chicago or sell its valuable property and relocate to the growing suburban areas.

[2] At 400 ft (120 m) above ground level, it is considered the world's highest worship space and contains 16 stained glass windows.

The Chicago Temple is home to an E.M. Skinner organ, Opus 414, which contains 5,589 pipes across seven divisions, four manuals, 73 stops, 93 registers and 92 ranks, and was designed to fit the sanctuary.

[6] To mark the centennial of the building, a $3.25 million fundraising campaign seeks to restore Opus 414 to full working order.

A fictionalized version of the building is one of the settings in Charles Merrill Smith's Father Randollph detective series, where the title character is the senior pastor resident in the skyscraper's parsonage.
