The Treherne United Church, formerly the Chalmers Presbyterian Church, received heritage designation on January 14, 1988, by the Village of Treherne. The first Presbyterian service was held in Treherne in the early 1880s, and a modest wooden church was built in 1887, later replaced in 1908 with this building, called Chalmers Presbyterian. Chalmers joined the 1925 movement to create the United Church and thus became Treherne United. Architecturally, the church is an ambitious interpretation of a typical L-shaped plan, with a handsome tower set into the apex of the L. The Gothic Revival styling, common in Protestant churches, is seen here in the pointed Tudor windows and in the main door. The building is the work of renowned Winnipeg architect J.H.G. Russell, who was the man often called upon in the design of major Presbyterian churches.

 

Treherne was named after its first post master.
