This stone church in Neepawa was designed by Portage la Prairie architect James A. MacDonald and constructed in 1892. For its centenary in 1992, a plaque was erected beside this provincially-designated historic site by the Manitoba Heritage Council. The original manse still stands, and has since been moved to 281 Mill Street.
