College Street United Church, Gothic Revival church at College and Bathurst Streets, Toronto, Canada

College Street United Church stands at College and Bathurst Streets in Toronto, sharing its site with the eight-storey Channel Club Condo at 456 College Street. The 1990 rebuild reproduced many architectural elements of the 1885 church, and the renovated bell tower remains part of the structure.

College Street Presbyterian was built in 1885 under founding minister Alexander Gilray, who served until 1915, followed by Robert Balmer Cochrane until 1925. That June, the congregation voted to join the United Church, and the site hosted the 51st and final General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada before the merger. Falling attendance and financial strain later left the building in disrepair.

The building hosted the final General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada before the denomination merged into the United Church. This event marked its importance as a gathering place for a pivotal moment in Canadian religious history.

The 1990 rebuild produced an eight-storey building with 89 condominium suites above the church at 456 College Street. The architects copied many elements of the 1885 church so the new structure would resemble the original. The bell tower was kept and renovated rather than demolished.

The church retained its bell tower during reconstruction even as the building was transformed into a mixed-use residential project. This preservation of a key architectural element while adding modern housing is notable among heritage church conversions.
