Construction was underway at the site in April 2019, and Saint Paulus is scheduled to reopen at this original site around July 2020.

On October 5, 1980, the church became San Francisco Landmark number 116. The church's landmark status was rescinded after the 1995 fire.

The church is seen in the background of a few shots in the Alfred Hitchcock film Vertigo (1958) with James Stewart and Kim Novak.
