History

Rosedale United Church opened in 1914 as Northern Congregational Church. The congregation relocated to this location from a now-demolished church at 480 Church Street.[1] The building was completed in 1913 in the Gothic Revival style by architect John Gemmell.[1][2]

In 1925, when the Congregational Church merged with the Methodist Church of Canada and two-thirds of the Presbyterian Church in Canada to form the United Church of Canada, the church was renamed Rosedale United Church.

In 2014, singer Gordon Lightfoot was married to Kim Hasse, his third wife, in the church.[3]
