The pulpit and organ case were designed in 1901 by Dick Peddie and Washington Browne. The congregation of Palmerston Place Church was established in 1740 as part of the Secession Movement. In 1847, the Burghers and Anti-Burghers reunited forming the United Presbyterian Church, for which Palmerston Place Church was built.
