N. Max Dunning was the man. His life was from 1874 to 1946. Dunning was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He studied at the University of Wisconsin.
The Third Avenue Historic District in Kenosha has some of his architecture. Two of his structures there, when studied, show some of the style that shows up in The E. H. Nichols Chapel at CPC. The Eugene Head House has a entry portico covering the entrance. The portico is supported by Tuscan columns just like the CPC'S Chapel. The entrance is dominated by the beauty of this design. Above the portico rests a classical balcony when viewed from afar. This is very similar when at The Point and turn around from Vesper Hill and start the climb back uphill.
Another home on Third Avenue has the tall arched window design and segmented arched entrance as the chapel at CPC. As mentioned in CPC Report # 145 N.Max Dunning was well known in Chicago with the Chicago Architect Club with Louis Sullivan.
The CPC REUNION has a change in time as per a recent telephone visit with Gina Barker. July appears to be a better time. The dates are JULY 11, 12, 13, 2008.
Shatter the darkness in your life and let GOD in.
