W.A. Elliot was commissioned by the Victoria Methodist congregation to design the church, which was built in 1909 and located at 1509 Victoria Avenue. Prior to that in 1896, Knox prsbyterian Church was built on the southeast corner of the same intersection of 15th Street and Victoria Avenue. When the United Church was organized during the 1920s, the two congregations joined to worship in Victoria Methodist, which took the name Knox United. In 1950, a new Knox United Church was built on the corner of Victoria Avnue and 18th Street and the present property sold to the Christian Reform Church.
