Jarvis Street Baptist Church, Gothic Revival church in Garden District, Toronto, Canada
The church features a corner tower adorned with gargoyles, polished granite pillars, and double wooden doors with quatrefoil and trefoil decorations.
Built in 1875 with a donation from Senator William McMaster, the church required complete reconstruction after a devastating fire destroyed the sanctuary in 1938.
The amphitheater-shaped interior, among the first in Canada, includes a gallery and groined arches supported by iron piers, accommodating 1250 attendees.
Located at 130 Gerrard Street East at the intersection with Jarvis Street, the church maintains regular services and houses the Toronto Baptist Seminary.
The building incorporates a 43-foot diameter rose window in the roof and stands as the first Canadian church equipped with heat-sensitive fire alarms.
