St. Elijah's Housing

[1] The original building was destroyed in a fire in 1949; the current Byzantine structure was erected to replace it.

[2] With the Lebanese Civil War Ottawa saw an influx of Antiochian Orthodox immigrants.

The congregation thus decided to move to a larger structure on Riverside Drive.

The building was sold in 1989 to a partnership of the local Anglican Diocese and CCOC, the Centretown Citizens (Ottawa) Corporation, a non-profit housing trust.

[4] The conversion of the church into apartments while retaining the building's exterior character received a City of Ottawa Heritage Award.
