St. Luke's Anglican Church
The first building here was constructed in 1903 as a Royal North West Mounted Police post. In 1915 the Anglican Parish of St. Luke rented the building from W. A. Beebe and eventually purchased it. The small parish hall to the left was constructed from materials salvaged from the old barn in the back yard. The steeple was added to the front of the building in the mid 1940s and the west vestibule extension sometime afterwards.
The present Grace Church is a recent blending of local Anglican and United churches. The Crowsnest Pass has a long tradition of cooperation and shared facilities between congregations of differing denominations.
