Clergy standing at the entryway to Grace United Church speaking to a crowd gathered to witness the opening of this newly reconstructed church. The original Grace Methodist Church had been dedicated in the late 1800s and had its name changed to Grace United Church with Church Union in 1925; it was destroyed by fire, however, in 1931. Handwritten annotation on verso reads: "Opening of new church 1938. The left hand row of people with the white collars were the P.S. Choir. The right hand row was the band & Chair from Metlakatla, Alaska."
