The Peak Church / Peak Chapel [1883-c.1958]

Submitted by David on Sat, 12/26/2009 - 21:28

Wikipedia notes that 'it held its first service in June 1883'. It 'was destroyed by a shell during World War II and not rebuilt', though the land wasn't given back to the government until the lease expired in 1958. It's not clear if any part of the building was still standing during 1945-58.

Union Church (3rd generation) [1891-c.1944]

Submitted by David on Sat, 12/05/2009 - 01:46

The church relocated here from its previous location at the junction of Elgin, Peel, and Staunton streets.

Completion date given in comments below.

Demolition date is a guess - it was demolished during the Japanese occupation, but I'm not sure exactly when.

After the war, the current Union Church building was built on this site.
