The Little Brown Church" is one of the oldest church buildings still in use in Gladstone. Designed by Thomas Nobel, it was built in 1900. The lot was donated by Richard Mason and CW Davis who owned the first lumber company in the city. The contractor was Nels Gorsman who built several homes and businesses in the area. Once the building was completed, it was consecrated on July 21st, 1901, by the Rev. G. Mott Williams, Bishop from the Diocese. The first Rector was Rev. Warren.
The altar, lectern, chancel chairs and stained-glass windows were gifted by Mr. and Mrs. Austin Farrell, Supt. of the Cleavland Cliffs Co. In Kipling. The processional cross was given by Arthur Hanson.
