 | | Hillside’s Immanuel Lutheran Church (itself, a daughter church of Zion Lutheran Church in Bensenville, Illinois), was the mother parish for churches in Forest Park, Hinsdale, Western Springs, La Grange, Lyons, Willow Springs and Bellwood, Illinois. |
 | | For according to several early church records, a separate structure for the school, church, and teacher’s quarters was built prior to this one, in 1853. |
 | | The church was often the subject of artists, one being a 24"x30" watercolor painting done by artist John McKee, and widely exhibited in 1947 by the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois in their "Our Landmarks" series. |
