Formerly Grace Episcopal Church, Eliot Unitarian Chapel took over this beautiful Gothic Revival church just east of downtown Kirkwood in 1961. The Eliot comes from the same man who helped found Washington University.

Have enjoyed perusing this site on and off and spotted this; I finally thought to search the site for Kirkwood, where I grew up in the 60s-70s. We went to Eliot in the 60s. As klds, we’d wander up into the steeple tower, which to us seemed to be hundreds of feet high.
Steve, I’m a big fan of Kirkwood! I will be revisiting it in the future. By the way, I lived in the Washington, DC area for a while, and I am familiar with McLean, Virginia.
