St. Joseph's &
St. John’s Church

Turn right on Sycamore Street and walk past Powell River's very first homes. The houses on the north side of the street were constructed in 1911.

On the corners of Ash and Sycamore stand two early Townsite churches. On the east side is St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church built in 1916 (now deconsecrated). On the west side is St. John's United Church built in 1913 (now deconsecrated) to house the congregations of all protestant denominations. Known as St. John's Union Church prior to 1920 it was a "United" church twelve years before the official Canadian United Church movement of 1925.
