Construction moved quickly; Arthur Johnston and Jack Lett drew stone from a quarry on the Johnston farm. The corner stone and sills were from Carleton Place. The church is a model of Gothic construction. Windows are recessed 20” into the walls. The church was consecrated December 18th, 1892 by the Reverend John Travis.
