St. James Episcopal Church stands at 1991 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a Richardsonian Romanesque structure completed in 1888–89 by architect Henry M. Congdon. The parish itself originated in 1864 as a mission from Christ Church. The building was erected on the site of the Davenport Tavern, a notable landmark that had occupied the location since approximately 1757; a portion of the tavern was relocated to Somerville, where it remains standing. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
