Demolition
has begun at the James Street Baptist Church, a nearly 140-year-old building
that, along with the Pigott Building and St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, has
dominated James Street South for generations.
According
to a letter written by Janice Brown, president of the Durand Neighbourhood
Association, two-thirds of the church will be demolished. Developers are planning
to save the church’s façade, as well as its east tower. The rest of the
building will be demolished, making way for an $80-million condo development.
James
Street Baptist Church was built between 1878 and 1882 by architect Joseph
Connolly (1840–1904). Connolly was an Irish architect who specialized in Gothic
Revival, also building Hamilton’s St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church on King
Street East at Victoria Street.
According
to the plaque at the James Street Baptist Church, it is designated under the
Ontario Heritage Act, and is Hamilton’s oldest surviving Baptist church.
It wasn't very long ago that I watched another Hamilton landmark get destroyed, this one by fire. Here’s a shot from today of the Pasadena on Bold.
Such a sad loss to see fine old buildings destroyed.

ReplyDeleteKeep your eye on the sprouting wheatgrass, which should start sprouting within a few days. Once little sprouts start to appear, like below, remove the cover. You should not need to water at any point during this time. If you do, your wheatgrass may be in too much direct light/heat. Also don't over water, because the wheat berries will mold.

ReplyDeleteDetermine what size mattress you are going to purchase. If you are purchasing a mattress for a young boy a twin size mattress is good, but if you are a major person and there are two people sleeping in the bed I do not advise going with something smaller than a queen size bed. If you are able to afford a king-size bed and you own the room for it, I recommend it. freightliner mattress
