A Romanesque Revival church in the Junction by Knox and Elliot, finished in 1892 and renamed Victoria Presbyterian for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. Closed in 2006 and converted by Triumphal Developments with architect Paul Oberst in 2011 into 34 lofts, one of them the whole bell tower.
The congregation started in 1885 in the waiting room of the CPR's Toronto Junction station, as West Toronto Junction Presbyterian Church, and built a small wooden church at Annette and Pacific the next year. It grew fast, and the present church was finished in 1892.
Its architects were Wilm Knox and John Elliot, who practised in Toronto from 1888 to 1892 after working for Burnham and Root in Chicago, where the heavy, round-arched Romanesque style was in fashion. A church committee had visited a church in Detroit and asked for the same plan: square, without galleries, with a high tower and a sweeping roof carried on four massive pillars. It is one of only a few Toronto churches in this style.
It was renamed Victoria Presbyterian in 1897 for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, and Victoria-Royce Presbyterian after a 1969 merger with Royce Avenue Presbyterian. The church closed in June 2006. Triumphal Developments converted it in 2011 with the architect Paul Oberst, creating 34 lofts on four floors from about 590 to over 2,500 square feet, with hammer-beam trusses, period light fixtures and exposed masonry. Balconies are hidden in the big arches that once held the stained glass, which was donated to St. Paschal Baylon Church in Thornhill.
“Opened in 1897.” 1897 is when it was renamed for the Diamond Jubilee; the church was finished in 1892.
