  St. Andrew's Church still stands in the eponymous municipality of St. Andrews, Manitoba, between Winnipeg and Selkirk. Several modern photos can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Municipality_of_St._Andrews

  This is mislabelled, Ernest Brown was born in 1877 which would make him 8 years old when this was taken. Brown moved to Edmonton from Newcastle in 1904.

• Galt Museum & Archives on The Commons said:

  Thanks Richard, did you mean to add this somewhere else?

• Perpetual Song said:

  No, at the bottom of the photo it says copyright Ernest Brown (the notable Edmonton photographer). So this photo could not be from 1885.

• Galt Museum & Archives on The Commons said:

  Thanks, we'll have our Archivist check it out!

• ProfessorJ1 said:

  Actually, Brown himself inscribed his copyright onto this negative. But the date of the subject matter is correct. It's just that Brown asserted his rights to the picture as the holder of the negative, even though he didn't take it. Brown purchased the original negative collections of many prairie photographers, including pictures taken by Charles Wesley Mathers and the Calgary outfit Boorne and May; his images go back to the 1870s. This picture was one of Brown's favorites. The original negative is at the Provincial Archives of Alberta.
