First Presbyterian Church of Portland, organized in January 1854 just three years after the city was incorporated, was the third Presbyterian church in the Oregon Territory. The church moved to its current location on Southwest 12th and Alder in 1888.
The church’s sanctuary, designed by William F. McCaw, is high Victorian Gothic with open-beam timber construction, one of the finest in the United States. The windows are the work of David Povey of Povey Brothers Art Glass Works in Portland. The rose window depicts an anchor as well as biblical fruits and flowers.
