The parish of St. James was established in 1906 as the subdivisions in the surrounding area were rapidly being built up (three churches within a few blocks of St. James also trace their foundation to 1906). An initial wood frame church was built in 1906 on the site of the present building, as was a wood frame school building which was replaced with the modern brick school building in 1924.[cite paper|title=St. James Church National Register of Historic Places Inventory report|publisher=National Park Service|date=1980-11-03] The parish house was completed in 1929. [cite web|url=http://www.stjameslou.org/welcome|title=St. James History|accessdate=2008-07-03] ]Construction began on the modern church building in 1912 and was completed in 1913. It was designed by J.J. Gaffney, a local architect who designed buildings such as the Belvoir Apartments in Cherokee Triangle, the baroque house on Highland Avenue, Adath Jeshuran Temple and Holy Name Church.
