This former Anglican church at the northwest corner of Valour Road and Riddle Avenue in Winnipeg, measuring 44 feet by 86 feet, was designed by local architect Edgar Prain and built in 1927 by the construction form of Langford and Birch. The one-storey wood frame and stucco structure had a seating capacity of about 400 people and was built for the congregation of St. Patrick's Anglican Church at a cost of about $20,000. Dedicated officially on 20 October 1927, its design resembles Prain’s work at St. John’s Presbyterian Church. Stained glass windows were created by artist Leo Mol.
In February 1974, the Parish of St. Patrick’s was amalgamated with that of St. Jude’s Anglican on Home Street to become the Parish of St. Patrick’s and St. Jude’s. In 2011, the building was converted into a private residence.
