04 - St. John the Divine Anglican Church - 1905 magazine cover
Located south of the Canadian Pacific Railway line, St. John's Church was intended to become the focus for a new community to be called "Brassey". Several residences and a creamery were erected nearby, but for most of the years the church and Bishop's Court were the most prominent structures in this area. Due to the awkward location of the church in relation to the rest of the Town of Indian Head, a new St. John's Church (initially called Grisdale Hall) was constructed north of the CPR tracks in 1912, and the picturesque church south of the tracks was demolished.

05 - St John's Anglican Church, Indian Head - 1912
This church was erected in 1912 within the original townsite of Indian Head, and was intended to replace the more elaborately designed church situated south of the CPR tracks in the ill-fated townsite of "Brassey". Once this structure was completed, the earlier church was demolished. ST. John's Church was initially known as Grisdale Hall.

St. John Anglican Church was later renovated, with removal of the tower tops, the closure of some of the windows, and the addition of peaked trim over the windows to give them a Gothic-like appearance.
