This impressive brick structure in Carberry was designed by Winnipeg architect H. S. Griffith and built in 1903 by local businessman James White. Intended originally for the Methodist faith, it later became a United Church when the Methodists, Congregationalists, and Presbyterians merged. It sits opposite the St. Agnes Anglican Church.
