St. James Episcopal Church, the first home of the oldest Episcopal parish in the Connecticut Western Reserve, was built between 1827 and 1828 and consecrated in 1829 by Philander Chase, first Bishop of the Diocese of Ohio. Its belfry and steeple were added in 1881. After the parish built a new church, the building was moved in 1972 from its original Market Street location to this site and renamed the St. James Meeting House. The oldest known structure in Boardman, it became the anchor of a community of historic buildings that includes the Beardsley-Walter-Diehm House, circa 1828, the Oswald Detchon House, circa 1840, and the Schiller-Chuey Summer Kitchen, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
