Or so said the University of Washington Library, but the Ballard-related part of that is almost certainly wrong. For starters, Kilbourne St. was what is now N. 36th Street in Fremont, and Plate 13 of the 1912 Baist map of Seattle shows a "Latter Day Saints Church" at the corner of 1st Ave NW and Kilbourne; to the west of this, the continuation of Kibourne is marked both as "W. Kilbourne St." and "Leary St." So this is in the western part of Fremont, not in Ballard.

According to Seattle historian Valarie Bunn, this was originally built in 1890 as Lake Union Presbyterian Church, but that congregation failed financially after the Crash of 1893. "The original organizing Presbyterian pastor, Rev. Canney, helped the Lake Union Presbyterian re-organize in 1899 and they moved into a portable building set up at 42nd & Evanston. In 1910 they moved to 45th & Wallingford. Now the church is at 42nd & Ashworth, and is called Wallingford Presbyterian Church. This info is from the records of the Presbytery of Seattle which I accessed in a book, The Presbytery of Seattle 1858-2005, by Robert L. Welsh, 2006, in the library of University Presbyterian Church."

Bunn continues, "As far as I can tell, Rev. Canney may have used that same stock church building plan as many as six times in Seattle in the 1890s. One was at 17th & Market Street, and that is the ancestor of the present Northminster Presbyterian Church at 7706 25th Ave NW. Another one was on Lane Street which got closed in 1907 due to the Dearborn regrade. Bethany Presbyterian started on the present site of the International Fountain at Seattle Center, and is now at 1818 Queen Anne Ave. Another one, Calvary Presbyterian, was at 24th Ave South & the southeast corner of King Street; it closed in 1913."
