Built in 1910 at the corner of Fifteenth Street and Victoria Avenue in Brandon, the congregation of this Presbyterian church joined with that of the nearby Methodist church in 1925. The building was demolished in 1938 and two private residences on the site use its former foundation and basement.
A memorial tablet for church members who died in the First World War was unveiled on 7 November 1920 by Brigadier General James Kirkcaldy (1866-1957), Major William John Creelman (1872-1964), and Reverend Robert Hamilton Lowry (1874-1947). It is presently located in Knox United Church.
