Grace Church on-the-Hill is a parish of the Anglican Church of Canada in the Diocese of Toronto. The parish church is located at 300 Lonsdale Road, in the Forest Hill area of Toronto, Ontario. [1]
Grace Church is featured in the novel A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, and it is a member of the Churches on the Hill group. [2]
Work on the current building, designed by Eden Smith, [3] began in May 1912. Opening services at the new church took place on 21 December 1913. [4]
In 1923, the Parish Hall, with an auditorium and gymnasium below, was completed, as well as the vestries on the north side of the chancel. [5] The original Eden Smith design was completed in 1938, including a chapel on the south side.
A two-story addition on the west side was built in 1955 as an Education Centre. [5] This now houses offices, meeting rooms and a childcare centre. [6]
