Erected between 1887 and 1889, St. Paul's has been likened to the 15th century Santa Maria Novella in Florence, with the green and white marble of that edifice re-created here in rough Credit Valley stone and smooth Cleveland limestone. The distinguished architect and historian, Eric Arthur, has regarded the interior as the most beautiful church interior in Toronto. The organ was built by the Toronto/Oshawa firm of R.S. Williams & Sons and installed in 1898. In 1977 the organ was restored by Gabriel Kney & Co. of London, Ontario. For stunning photos and information on the history of St. Paul's, click here.
