Initially a Presbyterian church when it was built in 1910, this quaint limestone building is situated in Garson in the Rural Municipality of Brokenhead. Constructed by mason John Hart and carpenter George Cushnie, it was entirely planned and built by volunteers employed at the nearby Garson quarry. Now used as a private residence, the building is a municipally designated historic site (1990).
