Historic Sites of Manitoba: First Presbyterian Church (61 Picardy Place, Winnipeg)
This Presbyterian church was constructed in 1927 by the congregations of several churches in downtown Winnipeg who had decided not to join the 1925 merger of the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congregationalist faiths into the United Church of Canada. It was designd by the Winnipeg architectural firm of Pratt and Ross with assistance from James McDiarmid and was built by the Sutherland Construction Company.
It is now a provincially-designated historic site.
