The building site was purchased in November 1888 from Jane K. Sather, a patron of the University of California.

It is noted for its famous stained glass windows produced by Goodhue of Boston, and for its arching redwood spans that were the widest at the time west of the Rocky Mountains.

The church remains a significant cultural and architectural landmark in Oakland.
