All Saints Church, was located in Hamilton, Ontario, on Queen Street South at King Street West.[1]
History
The establishment of the church parish dates to 1855, while the construction of the building began in 1872.
This building originally had a large tower. On September 24, 1998, a 5.4 earthquake hit Hamilton at 3:52 p.m. The support stones for the tower were damaged, and forced the removal of the stone spire.[2]
In the fall of 2009 the church was declared unsafe and was closed due to further instability of the structure - pieces of the roof were falling into the nave. The congregation moved to worship in a senior's facility, and then another local church.
The historic stone building was demolished on August 25, 2016, to make way for a new condominium with plans for a worship space for the congregation included.[3]
