Looking southeast towards the corner of Avenue Rd and Webster Ave, just south of Davenport Rd in The Annex and Yorkville neighbourhoods of Toronto.

The archival photograph captures St Paul’s United Church, which once graced the corner. Constructed in 1886/77, the church showcased Gothic Revival architecture crafted by the architects Smith & Gemmell. The church was demolished in 1995. Presently, there are plans to develop a 9-story boutique residence at the site where the church once stood.
