One of the most unique things about the neighbourhood of Villeray is the myriad of abandoned buildings that appear on so many of its corners. After passing this abandoned church many times on Jarry Street, I decided to do some digging and was finally able to uncover some of its history. Urban buildings have a tendency to reveal themselves in layers. The church’s patterns of occupancy show a neighbourhood in constant motion. Beginning as the Crystal Springs Mission in 1909, a mission of Amherst Park Congregational in Rosemont, the congregation was later absorbed by the United Church of Canada. It passed into the hands of the Armenian Evangelical Church in 1968, before finally becoming a centre of the Haitian community as the Église de Dieu Centrale from 1985-2011. The modest means of the church’s former inhabitants can be seen in its sparse interior and simple brick construction, reminiscent of the extremely simplified early gothic revival style found elsewhere in the province.
