This Methodist church at the northeast corner of the intersection of Lorne Avenue and Eighth Street in Brandon was constructed in 1899. It became First United Church in 1925 and it operated until 1969 when it amalgamated with St. Paul's United Church to become the Central United Church. The property was sold and the building was demolished in 1971. The site is now occupied by a residential apartment block.
