| The Northmister Presbyterian Church was founded as the Fifth Presbyterian Church of Washington in 1852, changing its name to Assembly's Presbyterian Church in 1855. The Central Congregational Church merged with Assembly's Presbyterian in 1870. North Presbyterian Church, organized in 1865, merged with Assembly's Presbyterian in 1908, thus forming Northminster Presbyterian Church.
Northminster sold the Assembly's church structure at Fifth and I Streets, N.W. and moved to a new building at 11th Street and Rhode Island Ave., N.W. in 1908. This structure burned in 1935 and services were continued at a mission chapel, which had been built in 1926 at Alaska Avenue and Kalmia Road, N.W. A new church was constructed at this site in 1939 and subsequently enlarged in 1955. |
