Black and white image of a group of people gathered in front of a church building. Most likely the event commemorated here is the dedication of an expansion of the church building and its basement. Tualatin Plains Presbyterian was founded in 1873 by four families from Glasgow, Scotland. One of the most well-known historic buildings in the area, the current building was completed in 1878. The stained glass windows in the front are from Scotland, and at one point in the 1980s vandals broke one of the panes. This pane was an unusual dark red color, so the church contacted the original manufacturer in Scotland. The company subsequently unearthed the original, now century-old order in their archives, and was able to manufacture an exact replica for the broken pane.
Black and white image of a wooden church building in the Carpenter gothic style. Built in 1892 for the local Methodist Episcopal congregation, the building was known as 'Wesley Chapel.' Home to a Methodist congregation for forty years, it was later leased to a number of other churches and other community groups. In 1965 the building was demolished.
