The building was moved about three blocks, in 1912, to the northwest corner of West Second and Salem Streets. [2]

It added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1] It was deemed significant as a work of a master architect, Arthur Benton. Its National Register nomination asserted it "is a sophisticated design statement which demonstrates the architect's skillful integration of Gothic Revival and Shingle Style elements; the high quality of its design and workmanship set it apart as an outstanding example of ecclesiastical architecture of the period. [2]

In 1982, the building was sold to Bill and Amy Pang who converted it into a Chinese restaurant and dance club. It was purchased and reconsecrated by St. Augustine of Canterbury Anglican Church in 1994.
