1913 – St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada

Fine Presnyterian church designed by Winnipeg architect John H.G. Russell. Now a United Church after the amalgamation of 1925, when most Congregationalists, Methodists and Presbyterians agreed to merge and form one organization. Destroyed internally by a fire in December 1963. Restored, and sold in 2025.

“Built throughout of Bedford stone, it has every appearance of dignity and delicate massiveness. The main doorway is approached by a broad stone staircase, having an easy rise, with a rest midway. The auditorium is almost square, 71 x 75 ft., the floor and gallery having a seating capacity of 1,200. The arches are of dark oak, massive in appearance, having a clerestory of 5O ft. above the audirorium.”
Construction, December 1916
