This small wood frame building on Breezy Point Road in the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews was constructed between 1938 and 1939 as the St. Georges Anglican Church Peguis. It was used by Indigenous people of the area to attend religious services without having to row across the Red River to St. Peter Dynevor Anglican Church. Later, the building was used as a chapel for the St. John's Cathedral Boys School.
The building was abandoned at the time of a 2017 site visit and was removed from the site sometime between 2020 and 2022.
