Administrative history
The first Presbyterian church in Dawson was a small log cabin structure, at the same location, built in 1898 by Rev. Andrew Grant, who came to Dawson in 1898 with Rev. Dickey to minister to the miners in the town and on the creeks. In 1925, the Church officially became St. Andrew's United Church, although the Methodist congregation in Dawson had joined the Presbyterian congregation in 1913.

General note
In 1903, St. Andrew's Church was the largest church in the city, seating 600 besides the choir. An enormous pipe organ, specially built by the firm of Karn and Warren of Woodstock Ontario, graced the interior of the Church, the largest such instrument north of Vancouver. Reverend Andrew Grant remained in Dawson from 1898 to 1908. As well as the church he was also instrumental in the building of the Manse and the Good Samaritan Hospital.<br><br>
