Little Trinity Church
Little Trinity Anglican Church is found on King St. in Corktown, the same neighbourhood as the building of the last few days. This early Gothic Revival church is the oldest standing church building in Toronto with its cornerstone being laid in 1843 and services beginning in 1844. A large addition was added in 1889 to provide more seating for the expanding congregation of Irish immigrants who didn't feel comfortable at the nearby St James Cathedral - too posh. It has survived a few fires over the years and is now involved in restoring some neighbouring workers cottages.

Nice shot, thank you for sharing it.
looks like a nice bit of architecture, any chance you can get photos on the inside?

Gorgeous architecture, and quite the history. It looks like it is in incredible shape.
My daughter was in Toronto for 24 hours this weekend en route elsewhere in Canada and loved it!
thank you for linking up with us at Inspired Sunday - love it!! what a beauty. really enjoy those windows. ( :
That's a gorgeous old church...don't see the kind of architecture much anymore!
I've heard of that church before, but haven't seen it. It has quite a good look to it.
The shape is 'English' but I think somehow I'd know it wasn't in England, something about the decoration. It looks an interesting old building though.
What a beauty, great picture and such interesting history. Thank you for visiting me today.
I am going to look around some more at your previous post.

It's a church with a heritage and very interesting design. Nice one.
Interesting tops to the bell tower.
I like the windows.
Such a beautiful old church! Love the architecture. Twyla
A very neat and tidy looking church indeed!
I was just in this area of town this weekend. Love your shots of it. It's not so empty most of the time. :)
I like that folk thought this was a friendlier church Pat , wonder if the swing here made the posh church :) have a bit of a rethink!
