The Great Fire of 1872 destroyed the church building, and by 1877 the congregation moved into a new building in Back Bay.History1728-1827When Boston's King's Chapel became overcrowded, some members of the congregation organized a new church beginning in 1728.

It had neither tower nor steeple, nor windows in the lower story of the front. There were 3 entrances in front unprotected by porches.

In the chancel were some paintings, considered very beautiful in their day."Ministers included Addington Davenport (1740-1746); William Hooper (1747-1767); William Walter (1767-1776); Samuel Parker (1779-1804); John Sylvester John Gardiner (1805-1830).Parishioners included Peter Faneuil, Charles Apthorp, Philip Dumaresq, William Coffin, Thomas Aston Coffin, Leonard Vassall, Samuel Hale Parker.
