The landmark building is a small gable-roofed rectangular-plan log structure with an apse and vestibule. It is clad with siding and has a small bell tower over the west-facing entrance. The surrounding cemetery and associated parish hall are not included in the recognition. HERITAGE VALUE The heritage value of St. Monica's Anglican Church lies in its historical association with the early settlers of the Lamerton Buffalo Lake district and the fledgling Anglican church in Alberta, prior to the arrival of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the establishment of the townsite of Mirror one and one-quarter miles south of Lamerton in 1911. As the oldest church in Lacombe County, constructed in 1895 through work bees organized by ranchers Walter and Edward Parlby, St. Monica's Anglican Church demonstrates multi-denominational cooperation and building traditions that represent a practical response to frontier conditions. Consecrated in 1897 by Bishop Pinkham of Calgary, St. Monica's Anglican Church, it was furnished with the assistance of relatives and friends of the congregation in England. It was the first of three churches, followed by St. Pancras in Alix (1910) and St. Peter's in Bashaw (1913) that comprised the district of the Mission of Lamerton, within the Diocese of Calgary. The coming of the railway placed St. Monica's Anglican Church in the heart of a burgeoning community and the sale of the 40-acre Dominion mission church land grant for building sites supported an endowment for the three churches. St Monica's Anglican Church represents the vernacular architecture typical of small churches on the prairies. Clad with siding since before 1911, complete with bell tower capped by a wooden ball and iron cross by 1915, it was updated in 1955 with an enlarged vestibule. It also demonstrates the evolution of interior finishes and heating systems that illustrate a progression in the comfort and decoration of the building and the cultural values of the congregation to its closure in 1985. As part of the collections of the Mirror and District Museum, the landmark St. Monica's Anglican Church has heritage significance for the social and cultural value placed on its preservation in support of the identity and history of Lamerton Buffalo Lake as one of the earliest settled districts in Lacombe County.
