Jarvis Street Baptist Church

The congregation of this church was formally organized in 1829, with chapels on Lombard Street (1832) and Bond Street (1848). Growing membership necessitated a new building, and this Gothic Revival church, designed by Edmund Burke, was begun in May, 1874. Built of Queenston stone, it was one of the first in Canada to use a U-shaped galleried auditorium. The Jarvis Street Baptist Church was dedicated in December, 1875, and has maintained an active Ministry in this area.
