Building History

Two congregations merged in 2008, Westminster Church and the Church at the Center, to create Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church. Between 2007 and 2017, membership in the congregation dropped from 161 to 45 members. These dwindling numbers followed large trends of falling attendance at Seattle's Presbyterian houses of worship, dropping from 16,598 to 13,302 between 2012 and 2016.

Seismic retrofitting costs of the church exceeded what the meager Capitol Hill Presbyterian congregation could sustain, so the church's board indicated that its last service would occur on 06/24/2018. (See Melissa Hellmann, "Losing Faith," Seattle Weekly, vol. 43, no. 23, 06/06/2018, p. A1, A6.)

Alteration

The Seattle architectural firm of Stuart and Durham supervised renovations to Westminster Church #2 in 1953.
