Princes Street Congregational Church was opened in 1819. The site used to be a yard of densely populated tenement houses grouped around a central courtyard. Within a short time the roof was found to be unsafe and alterations were made in 1828 and some buildings situated behind the church were modified and incorporated into the Church Rooms. The church was further altered and partially rebuilt in 1881 by Edward Boardman, a Deacon of the Church, and its present facade dates from this time. The roof was raised and a plasterwork ceiling installed. In 1927 the traditional box pews were replaced by the present pine pews with umbrella racks.
