Learn a little of Toronto's history as told through its plaques.
Avenue Road Church
The plaque, apparently located here at 243 Avenue Road, appears to be missing. According to Heritage Toronto, it's a 1980 Toronto Historical Board plaque and the text of the plaque says:
Built in 1899 as the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant, this church was designed by architects Gordon and Helliwell. The bold use of white Kingston limestone makes the building a significant landmark. In 1925 it became the Avenue Road United Church. Known as the Stone Church during the late 1930s, it was taken over by the Church of the Nazarene in 1941, with Charles Templeton as preacher. The building was gutted by fire in 1944, but was later restored.
