Consulting architect, David R. Brown; original architects, Hutchison and Wood.

Built in 1893 by Alexander Cowper Hutchison, and inspired after the style of the American architect Henry Hobson Richardson, the original building followed the “Akron’ plan which was at that time the last word in church design in the United States. In 1938-1939 the interior architecture was adapted by Nobbs and Hyde in relation to new standards of the United Church of Canada which were set forth in the 1926 Memoranda on church design and church decoration. Nobbs was Consulting Architect to UCC and a member of the Committee on Architecture. In the remodeled church the axis of the auditorium is changed from the diagonal into the main axis of the structure. The original sloping floor made level and a shallow choir opening through the old connection to the Sunday School Hall at the rear. The original gallery was reduced by about one third, leaving the windows unobstructed in both transepts. The original arcade on the left of the chancel is repeated on the right, with plaster grills added in all the openings. Grey Tennessee marble is used for the choir floors, steps and parapet, and the framing of the pulpit and communion table, which have panels in light red Numidian. The solid communion tabletop is in Jaune de Brignole. Chancel furniture, choir stalls and paneling are in walnut, with carved and gilded ornaments that are for the most part based on Early Christian symbolism, and in accordance with the memorandum. Important changes were also made at the entrances, involving a narthex, served by both east and west porches. (“Erskine and American Church, Montreal, Quebec, “ JRAIC 16 (April 1939): 80-81)
