Historic Sites of Manitoba: Selkirk United Church (202 Mclean Avenue, Selkirk)

Methodists erected a building on this site in Selkirk in 1895. When they united with the Congregational and Presbyterian churches in 1925, it was raised on a basement and served until the present sanctuary was designed by the Winnipeg architectural firm of Prain and Ward and built between 1957 and 1958. An extension was added in 2011. The old building has undergone extensive renovation and now serves as a Christian education building.

Among the clerics who served at Selkirk United was Walter G. Crane.
