St. Paul's Anglican Church, Anglican church and national historic site at Front and Church streets, Dawson City, Canada
St. Paul's Anglican Church is a wooden house of worship in Carpenter Gothic style located at the intersection of Front and Church streets. The structure features a steep pitched roof, a tower with a pointed arch entry, and slender lancet windows characteristic of the architectural style.
The building was constructed in 1902 and initially served as the cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Yukon. When the diocese moved to Whitehorse in 1953, the church remained and was later designated as a national historic site of Canada.
St. Paul's remains an active parish of the Anglican Diocese of Yukon, with the Ven. Laurie Munro as incumbent priest and the Rev. Percy Henry as deacon. Lay ministers Mabel Henry, Shirley Pennell and Betty Davidson also serve the congregation. The church was built in 1902, the year after the gold rush peaked at Dawson City.
St. Paul's stands at the corner of Front and Church streets, a short walk from Dawson City's downtown core. It remains an active parish of the Diocese of Yukon, so visiting hours depend on services and the season; check locally before setting out. The church is a national historic site, and the exterior, including the belfry tower and lancet windows, can be seen at any time from the street.
