Description
The San Francisco Theological Seminary opened its doors in 1892 with the help of San Francisco pastor William Anderson Scott and California businessman Alexander Montgomery. On December 2, 1889, Montgomery gave $250,000 for the construction of Montgomery and Scott Halls at the newly conceived seminary. Later, he gave additional amounts totaling $235,000. After significant delays, construction was completed in May of 1897, four years after Montgomery's death. Shortly before construction ended, Montgomery's remains were transferred from Laurel Hill, San Francisco to the Seminary Chapel, where they are today. The seminary is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, and helped establish the town of San Anselmo as well as give business to the North Pacific Coast Railroad which passed through town.
