Address: NW Corner of Market Street & Lake Avenue W, Kirkland. This striking example of Neoclassical design with a columned “Greek Temple” portico is the oldest remaining church building in Kirkland, and one of East King County’s best-preserved examples of Classical Revival style architecture. Dating from Kirkland’s prime era of development in the 1920’s, the brick and stucco building is symmetrical, shaped like a cross, and possesses the qualities of substantiality, dignity, beauty, and simplicity that are the fundamental goals of Christian Science architecture as well as being consistent with the “City Beautiful” movement of the 1920s.
In 1999, the building was moved one block west of its original location, to a park property owned by the City of Kirkland. It is currently (2001) undergoing restoration, and will serve as the home of the Kirkland Heritage Society.
