The Episcopal Church of the Atonement opened to parishioners in Edgewater neighborhood in 1890.  The attached parish house was constructed in 1901 and the rectory in 1915. The original building was designed by parishioner Henry Ives Cobb who also designed a number of Richardsonian Romanesque and Victorian Gothic buildings throughout the US and Canada including the Newberry Library.

Arda conducted a comprehensive campus evaluation for the Episcopal Church of the Atonement, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, to provide a foundation for future capital planning and phased implementation of improvements.
