Comments
The St Paul's Presbyterian Church, Northam property is now privately owned.
"The first Presbyterian Church services in Northam were held in 1897 in the original Mechanics Institute building. In July 1898 a small weatherboard building became the first Presbyterian Church. During the boom years associated with gold, the congregation increased rapidly, and work began on a new church building in 1908. St Paul's was used until the Presbyterians and Methodists in Australia joined to form the Uniting Church in the 1970s from which time services were held in the Methodist Church, so the Presbyterian Church was no longer used."
