Designed in the Classical Revival style,[citation needed] the church was built of Bedford limestone.

This was soon outgrown and in November 1906 a contract was signed to purchase the Denny Way property.

In August 1908, services began in a temporary wooden structure that was built on the completed foundation of the new church.

[2] On January 17, 1977, the building was declared a City of Seattle historic landmark.

[citation needed] In 2006 the congregation made the decision to move to the South Lake Union neighborhood to be in a more active urban location; the building on East Denny Way was sold to a developer who has since converted it into townhouse project called The Sanctuary.
