The Little Brown Church, built by Presbyterians in 1910, served the growing community attracted by the Ocean Shore Railroad.
During World War II, it broadened to become a Red Cross center, well-baby clinic, and teen center. The Reverend Herschel Harkins, pastor from 1943 to 1965, became such a beloved leader that Pacifica named its municipal pier in his honor. In 1983, the church changed function to become the police headquarters, and 2003, the Pacifica Historical Society took charge. Besides a museum, the Little Brown Church is again a community gathering place.
