This one-storey, wood frame building at the intersection of South Railway Avenue and Fourth Street in Shoal Lake, in the Rural Municipality of Yellowhead, was built in 1892 by Mr. Hope Hay, on land that he donated. Initially occupied by an Anglican church congregation, and named St. Paul’s, the building was sold to a Ukrainian Greek Catholic congregation in 1918, for the sum of $1,000, and renovated to meet the requirements of the Byzantine rite. In 1945, after the congregation moved to a new building elsewere in town, the building was sold again, to the Independent Order of Oddfellows and Rebekahs, and it remained in their hands until 1993 when it was sold to a construction company.
As of November 2020, the building still stands but is slated for demolition.
