Description

KNOX UNITED CHURCH - In 1922, a new Knox Presbyterian Church complete with a basement, vestry, balcony above the entrance lobby, and offices was officially opened on five lots at the corner of 5th Avenue & Brunswick Street in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. The building was designed by Henry Wilson, Architect (and also Prince George's 4th Mayor) in conjunction with a building committee chaired by A.B. Moffat.
A small Knox Presbyterian Church had been constructed in South Fort George in 1910, but due to population expansion in the Prince George town site arising from the advent of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, this structure was relocated to the corner of Patricia Boulevard & Queensway Street in 1915. By 1920, church attendance had expanded to the extent that larger facilities were needed, and plans were made for a new church downtown in Prince George.
An union of Presbyterian Congregationists and Methodists across Canada formed the United Church of Canada on June 10, 1925 and in Prince George the name for the faith become the Knox United Church.
