This church is an important representative of the work of C. Alfred Breitung. Additionally, its associations with the Hill Tract Addition enhance our understanding of residential development in Seattle. The complex of buildings that make up St. Mary's Church contributes to the historic streetscape.
Originally located at 20th and Jackson, St. Mary's congregation announced the remodeling of their church and the construction of a rectory in 1904. In 1909, they announced that a new church would be constructed and in 1910 announced that the new church, to be designed by Breitung would be built at 20th and South Weller.
