St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church (San Diego, California)

St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church in San Diego, California. It belongs to the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego.

History

In the spring of 1948, the building was cut into ten sections for moving and reassembled on two lots at 5198 College Avenue which had been purchased by St. Paul's for $4750. According to an article in the The San Diego Union-Tribune on May 13, 1948, the "entire cost of moving, re-assembling and remodeling the church was estimated at $40,000. When the church was built in 1887, the cost was $7750."

The enrollment at State College, Pennsylvania in 1965 had increased to more than 16,000, and plans were being made to initiate an extensive building program and had to increase the size of the campus considerably. This threatened Parish expansion, together with the total lack of parking space during the week, was gradually strangling the growth of the parish.

In March, 1967, the property on College Avenue was sold to San Diego State University for $173,000.

In 1967, they moved the chapel to Lemon Grove, California to become St. Philip's Episcopal Church. Stained glass windows from the original chapel made the transition to the current church building. Today, St. Dunstan's Church is in the San Diego community of San Carlos.
