St. Jean Baptiste First Church

Floors - Downstairs is the only preserved space (there is a broken pad lock on the upstairs door). The upstairs floor is coming apart and definitely feels weak. I took a peek in the attic but didn't trust the floor up there

The St. Jean Baptiste Church was the first permanant church built in the French Canadian settlement at Falher signifying the beginnings of a permanant settlement. It served the area for a 7 mile radius.

The building was used as a church from 1914-1919 and as a private residence thereafter since the railway had changed its route for the new line, which resulted in a new church being established one township further north (right in Falher).
