1918 – Knox United Church, Central Park, Winnipeg
Architect: John H.G. Russell
A fine example of the Collegiate Gothic style applied to a church alongside Central Park in downtown Winnipeg. Constructed between 1914 and 1918 as a Presbyterian Church, a project made longer by the First World War, it was designed by prominent Winnipeg architect John Hamilton Gordon Russell. The interior of the church auditorium has curved pews set on a bowled floor between wide aisles, and a large, cantilevered balcony with sloped seating. Missing a piece of its tower since a lightning strike some years ago.
