Located at the cross road of the community, St. James has stood on the corner of Old Route 5 and St. James Rd for one hundred and twenty one years. St. James Presbyterian Church was built by the MacInnis Brothers from Whycocomagh in 1885. This one and one half storey Neo Classical Church features beautiful original arched windows. Some windows show beautiful stained glass images dedicated to the church and its parishioners. Original 6 over 6 double paned windows with tracery featuring a fixed French Romanesque. These windows are repeated over the gothic arch style door. The exterior is clad in wooden shingles with corner boards. Located behind the church is the St. James Cemetery which, to this day, acts as the official cemetery for both the Presbyterian and United Church in Big Bras d’Or. The church is set against the backdrop of Kelly’s Mountain and in its location is a formidable building from any direction.
