St. James' Anglican Church (Parish of Saint James, Vancouver) is a unique church building in the Diocese of New Westminster of the Anglican Church of Canada located at the north-east corner of East Cordova Street and Gore Avenue in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The original building was completed in the spring of 1881 on Alexander Street to the north west of the present site and was sponsored by Captain James Raymur, the manager of Hastings Mill. This building burned down in the Great Vancouver Fire of 1886. The heat of the fire melted the church bell into a puddle that was eventually put on display at the Museum of Vancouver. The present (and third) church building was designed by Adrian Gilbert Scott and is the second to be built at this location on land donated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Its design is a combination of Art Deco, Romanesque Revival, Byzantine Revival, and Gothic Revival architecture. The walls are made of reinforced concrete, while the roof is made of slate. The building was constructed between 1935 and 1937 and consecrated in 1938. St. James was the first Anglican church in Vancouver, formerly named Granville, until the establishment of a local church (daughter church) that would eventually become the congregation of Christ Church Cathedral. Its worship and piety are explicitly Anglo-Catholic.
