This church was originally known as the Third Church of the First Presbyterian Order. The First Presbyterian Church was first organized as a congregation on May 3, 1834, largely under the direction of Horatio Chapin, one of South Bend's earliest settlers. This magnificent Romanesque-style church was designed by architect J.P. Bailey and built by Christopher Fassnacht. It was completed in 1888. It has a cruciform plan and is constructed with granite bearing walls of large stones with large round arches of sandstone with fishscale to the west. There is a massive stone tower and the northeast corner is surmounted by the pyramidal roof. The windows are all comprised of elaborate stained, leaded glass, many with semicircular headed openings.
