This two-storey brick and Tyndall stone church at the northeast corner of Burrows Avenue and Andrews Street in Winnipeg, measuring 30 feet by 60 feet, designed by local architect George Gaspar Teeter. It was constructed in 1907 by the construction firm of Fraser and MacDonald at a cost of about $11,000 for the congregation of Salem Reformed Church. With a seating capacity for about 350 people, the church was dedicated officially on 20 November 1907.
Used until 1986, it then became a Filipino United Community Church for a time. It was later renovated into a private residence and was for sale at the time of a 2021 site visit but, by 2025, it was boarded up and vacant.
