St. James-Bond Church, Tudor Revival church building on Avenue Road, Toronto, Canada
St. James-Bond Church was a church building located on Avenue Road in Toronto, featuring characteristic Tudor Revival elements like steeply pitched gabled roofs, decorative half-timber patterns, and prominent brick chimneys. The structure provided space for worship services and community activities throughout its years of operation.
The building emerged in 1928 from the union of two separate congregations, St. James Square Presbyterian Church and Bond Street Congregational Church. It remained active until 2005 and was subsequently demolished to make way for new residential development.
The building served the north Toronto community as a gathering place for worship, meetings, and local events. People regularly came together here to nurture their bonds and mark important moments in their lives.
The site is located on Avenue Road in north Toronto and was easily accessible to the public. Since the building was demolished in 2006, visitors today can only see the lot, which is now occupied by a modern senior residential building.
The building brought together two distinct Protestant traditions under one roof, creating a rare architectural and spiritual combination. This fusion of two congregations with different roots made it a distinctive chapter in Toronto's religious history.
