First Universalist Church is a registered historic building in Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register on March 3, 1980.
This church incorporated as City Temple—First Universalist Church was the result of a merger between the "First Universalist Church of Cincinnati" and the "New Thought Temple". It was located on Essex Place in the Walnut Hills section of Cincinnati. The church has stained glass windows dedicated to early Cincinnatians such as the poets Alice Cary and Phoebe Cary. The tower was at some point capped with a conical steeple-like roof and topped with a stone cross. There was an ink drawing of it published in the Cincinnati Enquirer by Carolyn Williams. In the drawing that roof is shown.
The founder of the New Thought Temple was Dr. Harry Grannison Hall, he and his followers found a home in the Universalist Church and eventually blended into that organization. The church later moved its location and changed its name to Heritage Universalist Unitarian Church.
Unity Temple is a Unitarian Universalist church in Oak Park, Illinois, and the home of the Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Congregation, which originally formed in 1871. It was designed by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and built between 1905 and 1908. Unity Temple is considered to be one of Wright's most important structures dating from the first decade of the twentieth century. Because of its consolidation of aesthetic intent and structure through use of a single material, reinforced concrete, Unity Temple is considered by many architects to be the first modern building in the world. This idea became of central importance to the modern architects who followed Wright, such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and even the post-modernists, such as Frank Gehry. The church is designated as a National Historic Landmark and is part of "The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright", a World Heritage Site.
