Erskine and American United Church

The church presents a gable crowned facade with a large demi-rose window above smaller framed windows and two balanced towers on Sherbrooke Street West.

Architect Alexander Cowper Hutchinson designed the church in 1893, following the influence of American architect Henry Hobson Richardson's architectural principles.

The sanctuary features eighteen stained glass windows created by Louis Comfort Tiffany Studios, representing the largest collection of religious Tiffany glass in Canada.

The interior space follows an amphitheatre layout modified in 1938, with a central dome and columns supporting transverse arches throughout the structure.

The exterior displays heavy rusticated stonework with massive central arches, complemented by Byzantine Revival elements that define its architectural character.
