It was in 1849 that Dr. W. M.
Willson donated the site upon
which the church was first
built, the same property used
by the parish today at Chenv
eketa and Church streets.
Ninety-five years ago, in
1854, the first church edifice
was erected on the property, and
the structure was in use until
the present church was built.
The church erected in 1854 was
the first Episcopal church in
Oregon south of Oregon City,
And featuring in the June 14
celebration of the present day
parish will be the little old first
church building, now used as a
parish house, facing north on
Chemeketa next door to the
church rectory.
Oldest Public Building
This parish house is today the
oldest public building in use in
the city of Salem. There are
some residences older but the
parish house has the record for
a public building longest in use
95 years.
When Dr. willson donated the
land to the parish in 1849 there
were less than ten of the Epis
copal faith in Salem. Today,
there are more than 700 com
municants In the parish.
The original church building
was consecrated by the first
Episcopal bishop in Oregon, the
Rt. Rev. Thomas Fielding Scott,
on April 22, 1855. Regular
clergy, beginning with the Rev
Michael Fackler, kept the small
congregation together. His suc
cessor was the Rev. J. R. W
Sellwood, who reported only
four communicants in 1858
The Rev. C. R. Bonnell fol
lowed. His daughter, Mrs. Cor
nelia Thomas, was a resident
of Salem until her death about
five years ago.
In 1883 a chancel was added
to the original church, the first
rectory was built and the steeple
added to the church. This stee
ple remained with the building
until about seven years ago
when it was removed due to a
structural weakness.
Parish Growth Steady
The parish Bouse today re
veals timbers and foundations
practically as strong as during
the yean it served as a church,
despite its 95 years of use.
The parish grew slowly in the
early years, showing 138 com
municants m 1922 when I new
church was built during the rec
torship of the Rev. H. D. Chant
ers. The erection of the new
milding in 1922 necessitated
noving the original church
from its corner position to its
oreaent day location on the al
ley west of the church.
The old building is in con
stant use by the Sunday school
and various organizations of the
church. It appears to be old
and weatherbeaten outside but
is an attractive piace inside, the
church organizations keeping it
in good condition for use by the
parish.
There are many who regard
the little old building with af
fection and sentiment and are
wondering about the future of
the structure when plans for
new church edifice get under
way. Many former Salemites
often write back regarding the
little church where they were
baptised or received their first
communion. Some in today's
parish favor preserving the old
structure if it is possible to do
Any action comes later,
however, plans to be announced
later for a more adequate church
and parish house, to be erected
either on the present site or at
another location, depending on
decision of the parish.
As example of the sentiment
for the little old parish house,
a lady in Tacoma a few years
ago left a goodly sum in her will
to St. Pauls parish in com
memoration of the little church
where she attended Sunday
school as a small girl.
