A landmark in High Park, the copper-covered spire and elegant brick and limestone facade of the Victoria Presbyterian Church has been part on the neighbourhood for more than 120 years.
The first service in the church was held on October 11th, 1885. The church was originally known as the West Toronto Presbyterian Church. It was renamed the Victoria Presbyterian Church in honor of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897.
Part of the Junction High Park area, it was the centre of a vibrant community and neighbourhood. Located on Annette St., at the corner of Medland St., it shares immediate proximity to the library, a Masonic Temple and St. Cecilia’s Church - all majestic historic buildings.The design of the church is unusual as it has no aisles, but rather a central plan. The church exterior is red clay brick trimmed with limestone.
The dramatic sloping roof, high steeple trimmed in copper, curved brick columns and romanesque arches give this building an elegant yet formidable presence.
The Sabbath School was built in 1927 and was the location of the Alexandra Bible Classes for children.

Active membership during the early to mid 1900s was 1,000 people, with the Sunday school having an enrollment of 400 children. The seating capacity in the church was 800 people.
In the 1960's the Royce Presbyterian congregation joined the Victoria Presbyterian Church. Due to declining membership, the decision to close the church was made.
