St Paul’s Methodist (United) Church

St Paul’s Methodist (United) Church was once located at Avenue Rd and Webster Ave, southeast corner (south of Davenport Rd) in the Yorkville neighbourhood of Toronto.

Built in 1886/87, the church and its attached schoolhouse were designed by architects Smith & Gemmell in the Gothic Revival style. It cost $40,000 for land and building. At the time, the lot measured 100 ft on Avenue Rd and 284 ft on Webster Ave, and the land was $60 per ft frontage. Webster Ave was originally known as Avenue Place.

The church was torn down in 1995.
