"6. The FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, NE. corner of N. Winter and Chemeketa Sts., designed by Whitehouse and Church, was built in 1928-29, of Willamette brick with wood trim. The structure is of modified Georgian design, with columned portico and octagonal spire. To the right an extensive wing houses Sunday-school and recreational activities." -Oregon: End of the Trail, 1940
At more than 140 years old, the Salem First Presbyterian Church congregation continues, as it has since 1928, to gather in this building, located across from the Oregon State Library. The church offers a "classic" service at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, and a second service called "Sunday @ Six" at 6:00 p.m.
