The first permanent Presbyterian Church in Chehalis was constructed in the 1880's on State Street near Prindle near the location of the first downtown along West Main Street. When the downtown migrated from Main to Market Boulevard in the 1890's, the Church moved also. The building was constructed Craftsman style in 1908. The brick annex was constructed in 1950. The beautiful stained glass windows portray part of the long history of the Westminster Presbyterian Church. The windows on the Market Boulevard side were given to the Church when it was built in memory of Lewis and Susan Davis who were members of the original church at Claquato. The two side windows are also part of the Davis Memorial.
