History

Файл:Former First Church of the Nazarene with First Unitarian Church - Portland, Oregon.jpg
Not listed on the NRHP is the building now serving as the First Unitarian Church's main sanctuary, built in 1921 as the First Church of the Nazarene.

In 1979, the Unitarian church purchased a larger church located directly adjacent, the original First Church of the Nazarene of Portland,[3] which had been built in 1921.[4] The Nazarene church congregation was preparing for construction of a new, larger building in the Sylvan neighborhood, so decided to sell their original building.[3]

The former Nazarene building (at 1211 S.W. Main Street),[3] which adjoins the First Unitarian Church but with its entrance oriented to the corner of 12th and Main, has been regularly used for Sunday services by the Unitarian church since 1993 and is currently the church's primary sanctuary,[5] but the 1921 building is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The NRHP-listed 1924 building is still owned and used by the First Unitarian Church of Portland, and church members refer to it as the Eliot Chapel after the first minister, Thomas Lamb Eliot.[5] Eliot Chapel was designed by Jamieson K. Parker, while the former Nazarene building was designed by Raymond W. Hatch.[6]
