Toronto Central Prison Chapel, Prison chapel in Liberty Village, Toronto, Canada.
The Roman Catholic chapel stands as the final structure from the Toronto Central Prison complex, located between two rail corridors west of Strachan Avenue.
Constructed by inmates in 1877, the chapel served the maximum-security prison until its closure in 1915, when the facility transformed into a military storage site.
The chapel represents a significant period in Toronto's penal history, reflecting the transition from punitive to reformative approaches in the Canadian prison system.
The structure remains vacant since 2015, with previous plans for restaurant conversion unrealized, while the surrounding area has developed into Liberty Village Park.
The chapel and a section of the paint shop wall are the only physical remnants of a complex that once held 336 inmates under strict disciplinary conditions.
