This structure was one of a very few extant examples in this City of pre-Civil War Gothic Revival. Altered considerably over the years, its cast iron cresting was removed in 1871. In 1891 it was raised 4.5 feet and the entry changed in 1908. However, it still retained its basic form which is simplistic and retrained in its design.
North Presbyterian was established as the City's second Presbyterian church. In 1870 they merged with First Presbyterian to form Immanuel. In 1871 the Welsh Calvanistic Society purchased the structure. Milwaukee School of Engineering purchased the building in 1954 and razed it in 1988.
