Here, attached to a bench on the grounds of an apartment building, is a 1976 Heritage Toronto plaque. The text reads:

On this site stood the Immanuel Baptist Church from 1888 to 1967, designed in the Gothic Revival style by Smith and Gemmell. It was the place of worship of one of the older continuing Baptist congregations in Toronto, originating as Alexander Street Baptist Church, where it met from 1866 to 1888. Its active mission work resulted in the establishment of other churches and Sunday Schools throughout the city. In 1967 the congregation moved to Finch Avenue East, North York.
