Alexander Street Baptist Church

The church building, designed in the Gothic Revival style by the architectural firm of Thomas Gundry and Henry Langley, was opened March 24, 1867 and seated 480 people.

[2] The $10,500 cost of its construction was largely met by a donation from Thomas Lailey who owned a wholesale clothing business in Toronto.

Andrew Heber Munro became its second pastor in 1869 and remained in his post for seven years, leaving to take over the pastorship of the First Baptist Church in Montreal.

The Alexander street church occupies a unique position on the mission work, and has gained for itself a most enviable reputation in this respect.

The church was demolished in 1954 when the south side of Alexander Street was razed to make way for the City Park apartment complex.
