The downtown core had moved westward, and most of the congregation wanted to shift in that direction as well, but a minority staunchly opposed the idea.

With the congregation thus split, the majority moved in 1876 to a new structure at King and Simcoe streets that still exists today as St. Andrew's Church.

The name was established as St. Andrew's, but the congregation left the Jarvis Street building and moved to the location of Westminster-Central, which was on Bloor near Yonge.

The Jarvis Street building was sold to two Baltic Lutheran congregations, which were then quickly increasing in number in Toronto.

The Westminster building that was the home of St. Andrew's after 1950 had been built in 1923, after the original 1891 structure on the site was destroyed by fire in 1920.

After considerable discussion, it was decided to demolish the old church, build an office tower above, and relocate the congregation to the lower level of the new complex.
