| Wesleyan, Primitive and Episcopal Methodism each had a following in Streetsville since the arrival of the first settlers. Yet by the 1870s, the Wesleyan Methodists has outgrown their chapel which stood at the corner of Maiden Lane and Church Street. The cornerstone for a new building was laid, in 1875, by Edgerton Ryerson and it was opened for worship the following year. In 1881, the three branches of Methodism merged and, in 1925, they were joined by roughly half of the Village’s Presbyterian membership to form a modern United Church congregation. The building is in the High Victorian style, with gothic elements in its nave windows, polychromatic brickwork and turreted spires. The modern red brick additions were added to the structure in 1950 and 1965. |
