This gothic church dates back to 1913 when it was originally established, initially it was a small frame chapel that seated 50 people in it’s first service.
As the neighbourhood flourished, so did the church’s attendance. It was upgraded to a parish in 1917.
Having outgrown its small chapel, this church was built in 1928 on the 15th anniversary of the church’s founding.
The gothic style church features Plymouth granite and Bedford limestone and cost $160,000 to build.
Like many other churches in the area, it suffered a decline in membership and the congregation moved to the suburbs.
By 2000 the area had one of the highest percentages of abandoned properties in the city.
The church closed its doors in 2003. For several years the church was used by a city Faith Center but that only lasted until 2015, leaving the church abandoned since then.
The church’s pipe organ, which was an extremely rare model was dismantled and removed from the building in March of 2009. It was donated to another church who planned to restore and install it in their sanctuary.
