The present church building, completed in 1913, was designed by E. J. Lennox in the Gothic Revival style.

Canon Cody's reputation as a skilled orator drew more members to the church, and they soon needed a new building.

[6] The church has a number of memorial plaques dedicated to parishioners who died in World War I, including Arthur Gerald Knight.

Other memorials to fallen parishioners in the church include an ornate alabaster screen behind the altar, and large stained glass windows unveiled by Governor-General Lord Byng of Vimy.

St. Paul's has been the venue of many notable funerals, including: Lady Iris Mountbatten, a great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, in 1982;[11] former premiers of Ontario, George A.

Drew in 1973 and John Robarts in 1982;[12][13] pianist Glenn Gould in 1982; Hockey Hall of Famer Charlie Conacher in 1967;[14] and Allan Lamport, former mayor of Toronto, in 1999.

[15] The church has also been the venue of the weddings of Ralph McCreath and Myrtle Franceschini in 1946;[16] Claude Bennett and Deborah Ferrier in 1977;[17] Knowlton Nash and Lorraine Thomson in 1982;[18] and Robert Seguso and Carling Bassett in 1987.

[19] Besides Canon Cody, other notable past rectors of the church include the Rt Rev.

Gregory Kerr-Wilson, present Metropolitan of the Northern Lights and Archbishop of Calgary, was assistant curate of the church from 1989 to 1991.

[20] Pope John Paul II led a national ecumenical service at the church during his September 1984 visit to Canada.

The original plans called for an imposing tower over the northeast entrance, but this was scrapped due to financial reasons.

The wide east and west transepts allow two-thirds of the congregation to be seated within 21 metres (69 ft) of the pulpit.

[23] Since 1910, St. Paul's, Bloor Street, has been the regimental church of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada (QOR).

A pew is designated for the colonel-in-chief of the regiment, presently The Queen, who was appointed when Duchess of Cornwall in 2010.

Princess Alexandra, who served as colonel-in-chief from 1960 to 2010, visited the church on April 25, 2010, to mark the 150th anniversary of the regiment.
