Originally the Mariners' Church, designed by John Bibb and constructed 1856-1859. The current building largely dates to 1910, when it was converted to the Rawson Institute for Seamen; named for Sir Henry Rawson who carried out the work.

In 2011 it was again converted - this time into several bars and restaurants.
