The church is more than 160 years old.
Excerpt from cbc.ca:
The church was built in 1878. Property records show the church congregation owned the land from 1875 until June 2013. That's when Louie Santaguida and his company Staton Renaissance, through a numbered company, bought it for $610,000.
After community protest, Santaguida demolished the church in 2014, saying it was crumbling anyway.
The church was already designated as heritage when that happened, says city planner Steve Robichaud. Santaguida got an alteration to that designation to demolish two-thirds of the church, but the original protection remains.
