Trinity-St. Paul's United Church - Toronto, ON - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

The History

Built in the Revived Romanesque style, Trinity-St. Paul's stone was quarried from the Forks of the Credit River. It is part of the body of work of architect Edmund Burke, whose splendid buildings are so much a part of Toronto's cityscape. In recognition of its fine architecture which is revolutionary in its democracy, Trinity-St. Paul's has been designated as a Heritage Building by the Toronto Historical Board. Appreciation for the church's architectural presence is widespread. In a column in the Toronto Star, Entertainment Editor Kathleen Kenna called Trinity-St. Paul's "one of the most romantic venues in Toronto." The sanctuary is built on an ampitheatre or auditorium plan emphasizing acoustics and visibility. This makes it an ideal location for musical performances as well as an enriching setting for worship.
