Erskine and American United Church

Erskine and American United Church, Romanesque Revival church in Ville-Marie, Canada.

Erskine and American United Church is a Romanesque Revival house of worship located in a Montreal neighborhood. The building features a gabled front with rose window detail, while two balanced towers frame the facade along Sherbrooke Street West.

The Erskine congregation, rooted in the Scottish Secessionist Presbyterian tradition, built this church in 1893–94 to the plans of architect Alexander Cowper Hutchison, replacing two earlier temples that had grown too small. It joined the United Church of Canada in 1925 as Erskine United, and in 1934 merged with the American Presbyterian Church of Montreal, inaugurated in 1866 at Dorchester and Drummond, to become Erskine and American United. The interior was reworked in 1937–38 by architects Nobbs and Hyde, when the Tiffany windows made in 1903 were moved here from the Dorchester Street church. The congregation dwindled from the late 1970s and the church closed in June 2004.

The Tiffany windows were commissioned between 1897 and 1902, made in 1903, and moved here from the Dorchester Street church when the two congregations merged in 1934. Seventeen of them were restored from 2008, and they hang in the Bourgie Hall concert room, where over 100 concerts are given each year with the Arte Musica foundation.

The interior follows an amphitheatre layout that was adapted in 1938, with a central dome and columns supporting transverse arches. The space is easy to navigate and the design provides good views of all architectural features.

The Tiffany windows now in the church were made in 1903 and first installed in the American Presbyterian Church on Dorchester Street; they were moved to Sherbrooke Street during the 1937–38 interior reworking by architects Nobbs and Hyde. Seventeen of them were restored in 2008.
