In 1896, local Episcopalians established a logging camp at what is now the Granite Falls area to provide logs for the church as well as money for construction. Teams of horses hauled the logs to the lake to be towed to the town by the steamer “Stehekin.” In 1897 a stone foundation was laid and construction continued through 1898. The first worship service, scheduled for Christmas Eve, 1898, had to be held in the Exhibition Hall because seats were not in place in the log building! First Eucharist was celebrated in the new building in January 1899. The bell tower and bell were added later that year. Original pews were replaced with the present seating around 1920. Otherwise, with the exception of the addition of electric lighting and forced-air heating, the building has been well-maintained in essentially original condition.
