I will one day own an old church and call it my home. Until then, and probably after, I will love to explore old churches. Without going into detail about why I love them, it's the architecture combined with when they were built and the whole overall feel that I totally love.
We were busy getting lost in Toronto when we spied this gem while riding the streetcar. I can't stand when places like this don't let you in to check the place out, but this church is totally open for visitors I believe everyday.
Now if you are lucky enough to be here when the organ is firing on all cylinders, I suggest staying for a bit. We were lucky enough to see this beast in action. Two giant sets of pipes set up on either side of the alter, plus a larger set behind the benches. My grandma played the organ for 50 years at her church, so this was amazing to hear such a large one belt out the tones that it did.
Aside from the organ you can walk around and check out historical plaques and some nice examples of stained glass work.
So on you next visit to Toronto, stop by and see some old charm of this 100+ year old church
