St. George by the Grange Anglican Church, Anglican church ruin in Grange Park, Toronto, Canada.
St. George by the Grange is a church ruin in Grange Park in Toronto and features a preserved tower with a two-story cloister surrounding the former building site. The tower stands on John Street and is set within green spaces that mark the original location of the main structure.
The Gothic Revival church was constructed in 1845 as a significant religious structure. A fire in 1955 destroyed the main building but left the tower standing as a surviving remnant of the original design.
The congregation gathers in the adjacent parish hall for worship after the main building was destroyed. This shift has transformed the space into an active meeting place for the local Anglican community.
The site is easily accessible on foot and located within a public park near the museum district. Visitors can explore the ruin and green spaces during regular park hours.
The courtyard of the destroyed church was transformed into a green garden that offers visitors a quiet retreat within the urban landscape. This green space creates a surprising sanctuary in the midst of surrounding development.
