During the fall and winter of 1897, American minister S. Hall Young organized the Presbyterian Church in Dawson. When it became definitely known that the scenes of his labor were not on American soil, the Canadian Presbyterian Church sent in missionaries to whom Young turned over his work.  Hall's initial ministry prospered and in 1901 a substantial church was erected which boasted a pipe organ and carved oak pews that could accommodate 600.  This photo of the now abandoned St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church was taken during the summer of 2007 at Dawson, Yukon Territory, Canada.
