During the summer of 1849, the congregation
worshipped in a teuton Dupont Street, afterward
in a store-room of the Custom House, and in the
Superior Court Room, City Hall, until January
19th, 1851, when a neat Gothic edifice, capable
of holding seven hundred persons, was dedicated.
This house was destroyed by the great fire of
22d June, 1851. A plain building was imme-
diately erected, in which the congregation wor-
shipped until August, 1857 ; and from that time
till May, 1858, their meetings were held in the
Chinese Mission Chapel. Their present fine
house of worship was built in the summer and
autumn of 1857, at a cost of about $50,000, in-
cluding the lot, furniture, and fixtures. It is in
the Gothic style of architecture throughout.
The main building is 117 feet long, or to the
outside of the tower 123; and is 61 feet wide.
Rooms for the Pastor's study and social meet-
ings are on the same floor with the audience
room, which last is 81 by 58 feet, with a ceiling

is over the front apartments ; on the northeast
corner of the house is a brick tower. 96 feet in

this Church was erected in the fall of 1854, at
a cost, including the lot, of about $70,000. On
its completion, the property was larjfcly in debt,
but the debt was graduailly reduced, and finally
wholly extinguished. The whole property is now
entirely free from debt, and the income of the
church, now some $13,000, from pew rents and
Sabbath collection.^ is ample to meet all its cur-
rent expenses. The church has a splendid organ,
built bv Henry Erben, of New York, which cost
over $8,000. This is, in all respects, the largest
and most costly organ on the Pacific coast, and
it has few superiors even in the Atlantic States.
It has 46 stops, and over 2,000 pipes. The
greatest variety of combinations can be made by
the use of the various stops and couplings; and
for excellence of workmanship, and sweetness of
tone, it has been pronounced by judj.'es to be un-
surpassed. The choir is under the efficient man
agement of Mr. Washington Elliot, Mr. Gustave
A. Scott being the organist.

The church building will seat comfortably 1,000
persons. The number of communicants is now
.375. The number of scholars and teachers in
the Sabbath School is about 225 ; numberof vol-
umes in the library. 1,000, which were selected
with great care, and form a very complete library.
Connected with the church is a depositor}' of the
books of the Presbyterian Board of Publication,
in which there is kept a variety of the standard
books and tracts published by that Board.

ent occupied by the congregation was dedicated
June 17, 1851. It has recently been enlarged
and thoroughly repaired, and now contains a neat

year the basement portion was built, and the
work was resumed the July following. Dedi-
cated December 25, 1854. 'The Church is 75
feet wide, fronting on California Street, by 131
feet on Dupont Street, being the largest cliurch
in the State. The basement is now used for a
school, at which there is an average attendance
of 320 pupil% Service was begun at midniyht
on December 24, 1854. The basement portion
which is 19 feet high, is lighted from both sides
and well ventilated. The present expenditure
on the building is $175,000. The Church por-
tion is 45 feet high in the clear and contains spa-
cious galleries and an organ loft. The ceilings
are vaulted with a series of groined arches which
are decorated, and every means has bren resorted
to for accommodation, light, and ventdation. The
Church can seat twelve hundred persons. The
tower is at present 135 feet high, and when com-
pleted, with the spire, will be 200 feet high. The
edifice is of Gothic architecture, which has been
carried out in every detail through the building.
In all the arrangements for the erection of the
Church, the greatest attention has been paid to
the selection of the best materials, and to the
combination of strength and durability, which
are admirably effected in its construction. Craine
& England, architects.

The present dimensions of the Cathedral not
being sufficiently large for the vast congregation
that attends it, it is intended to add about thirty
feet more to its length, as also an Archi-episcopal
and pastoral residence on California Street, which
will probably be done during the current year.

This Church was organized by Very Rev. An-
thonv Langlois in the Spring of 1849, through
whose eflforts a commodious frame buildmg was
erected in the month of December, 1849, and
was the first Roman Cattiolic Church organized
in San Francisco. Its ground base was 40 by
100 feet, one story in hight. During the years
1859-60 a large and commodious Church was
erected, which was dedicated on the 17 th March.
I860. lis design is of the Gothic order, preva-
lent in the 14tli century, presenting an illustra-
tion of the Christian Architecture of that period.
The principal features of this imposing structure
are the towers, which project beyond the body
of the Church, and present ^in their elevation four
divisions, rising to a hight of 90 feet from the
ground. The entrance porch, or vestibule, has
two side aisles, a semi-octagonal sanctuary and
two sacristies, and is approached by a Hight of
ten steps, ascending to the vestibule, from which,
at each side, are entrances to the galleries and
baptistry, and in front are the pointed arched
doorways which lead to the nave and ai.sles. In
the central space, between the towers, are the
three doorways communicating with the vesti-
bule, and thenc-e with the interior. Over the
central door there is a large and elegant three-
comparinient window, and in the gable a highly
decorated rose window. Over each side door,
there is a lofty and spacious niche, which rises
from rich'y molded brick corbels ; there are, also,
three marble panels, with appropriate inscrip-
tions, reces.sed in the l)rick work immediately
over the doorway and gable ; the work is fin-
ished with a massive and richly decorated cross.

The east and west sides of the structure are
divided by buttresses into eight spaces, in each
instance ; seven of which contain the large,
pointed arched windows which light the Church.
Beneath the floor of the Church there is a large,
well-lighted basement, which is used as a
school room, and also as a place of meeting for
the parishioners. The extreme length of the
building is 66 by 1.37^ feet; from the floor to the
foot of the rafters is 35 feet. The cost when com-
pleted will be nearly $100,000.

1, 1850. Tiio present edifice owned by the
society was erected in 1852, and dedicated July
17th, 'l85;{. The first regular Pastor, the Rev.
Joseph Harrington, arrived August 27th, 1852,
and died November 2d of same year, of Panama
fever. The second regular Pastor, Rev. F. T.
Gray, arrived June, 185:?, and left in Jime, 1854,
and died in Boston, February, 1855. The tiiird
regular Pastor, the Rev. R. P. Cutler, arrived
August 31, 1854, and continued his ministrations
without intermission, until June 1, 1859, at



which time ho resigned his charge, and left for

tiicn ofliciated as temporary Pastor until Ajjril,
5, ISCO. The pre-ient Pastor, Rev. T. S. King,
arrived hero with hi.<» family April 28, 1860, and
commenced his ministrations iho following day
(Sunday) before one ol liie largest congregations
ever assembled in this city. Since the com-
mencement of Mr. King's labors, and durintf the
period of ten months tiiis society has relieved
itself of a debt which had been for years accu-
mulating upon them, and which amounted on
the 1st May, 1860, to very nearly $20,000. The
mortgage upon the building $12,500 has been
paid, and the society is now entirely free from
debt. The building is capable of .seating 1,000
persons, and is one of the most attractive places
o'" public worship in the city.

The present Church edifice being inadequate
to the growing wants of this congregation, the
society is now engaged in erecting a new build-
ing on Geary Street below Stockton.

It is expected that it will be one of the largest
and most commodious, as it will also be onr of
the most splendid structures in the city. It will
be completed about the 1st February next, and
the cost will probably reach $00,000.

The original officers of the Society were :
F. W. Macondray, "\Vm. Hooper, S. P. Dewey,
Jas. King of Wm., and F. A. Hussey, Directors;
George F. Noyes, Clerk, and Jno. Perry, jr.,
Treasurer.

tills Society, has always been one ot the largest,
most flourishing, and best conducted institutions
of the kind in this city. It has a regular attend-
ance of about 300, and there is also in connection
with tliis school a valuable and increasing library
