The First Presbyterian Church at Pioneer Park is the oldest church in Fairbanks.
Since 1904, it has hosted congregations and weddings, practices that continue to this day. “You have multiple families that have had three or four generations all been married in this little, tiny chapel,” said Donnie Hayes, Director of the Fairbanks North Star Borough Parks and Recreation Department.Then in 2018, the Fairbanks community had a shock when the roof of its historic Masonic Temple collapsed.
When examined, First Presbyterian showed signs of instability. “The pressure from the roof was actually putting that additional pressure right there on the walls, making it start to cup,” Hayes explained, adding, “There were some structural beams on the foundation that were missing. We found rot on some of those beams.
