St. James United Church, Gothic Revival church in Downtown Montreal, Canada
The St. James United Church features two towers of different heights, measuring 43 and 61 meters, with polychromatic stonework combining grey limestone and red sandstone.
Built between 1887 and 1889 by architect Alexander Francis Dunlop, this Methodist church became part of the United Church of Canada during the 1925 denomination merger.
The congregation established North America's first YMCA in 1851, demonstrating their commitment to community development and social improvement through physical education.
Located at 463 Saint Catherine Street West near McGill metro station, the church provides limited wheelchair access and maintains regular religious services.
From 1927 to 2005, a commercial building concealed the church facade, with only a neon sign marking its presence on Saint Catherine Street.
